Should individuals be prosecuted for statements made on social media ? Yes or no ?

This question requires a personal answer. I will give you one as an example and you can agree or disagree, and be able to change it if you want to.

Explanation:

 Using social media requires great responsibility. We have to assume that what we write may affect other people and assume that what we read may not be appropriate for us as well.

 When a person's life is really affected by comments from one or more people on social media, then yes, individuals should be prosecuted. Especially when these cases turn into cyber bullying.

However, I think we all have opinions on any topic on social media and if the comments are not intended to hurt anyone, they could avoid a trial, or at least resort to a temporary account cancellation as a form of punishment.
