The arrests of two people in connection with a Twitter hoax in Mexico has sparked another clash over free speech online.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Prosecutors have charged two with terrorism after false Twitter posts caused chaos

Some criticize the government's reaction, arguing the punishment doesn't fit the crime

Officials defend their response, saying the suspects should be punished for harmful actions

Analyst: People once yelled "fire" in theaters; "now the whole world is like the crowded theater"
