Do Some Have More Freedom Of Speech Than Others ?

The hate and bile against #Muslims and #Islam have increased since the killings in #France
Social media is awash with #Bigots and #Racists spewing their hate.
When challenged they cry it is their right under freedom of speech.
And it is on this issue I have become confused.
When bloggers, including myself, challenge big business and politicians we are shut down and orders such as CPN (community protection orders - asbo's) and even criminal charges are brought.
Why can we not name and shame #Corrupt officials and those in authority ?
Why is it ok to attack people because of their religion but not publicise the errors and law breaking of social services, for example ?
It appears there is one law for hate and bile and another for legitimate community concerns.
Social workers allow no questions, no challenge  - and remove names of individuals when reported on the web ?
It is the same with other local government officials - health boards - police - the media etc etc..
The web is being cleansed of dissent leaving behind just the #Haters
The hypocrisy is sickening.
