There is no defense for Topix. A few people want to claim freedom of speech, but certain things such as libel, sexual predators, and other things is not protected. The site contains little moderation and stays in hot water with attorney generals. Generall speaking the site is largely despised but a certain group of people find joy in hurting others in many cases and then claiming they have the "right." New laws need to be formed concerning cyberbullying and Topix needs to do the right thing and hire moderators, require registration and stop claiming they are a news site. There is also a ton of racism that occurs and many people's lives have been destroyed. Topix also often sends many of their internet trolls on sites such as this one claiming to "defend" the site.
