What’s On Your Mind?

I often hear people exercising their freedom of expression and this is a good thing.

We all have our ideas and world-views and that is just how it should be.

The problem begins when some people mistake freedom of speech as an incontestable right devoid of any repercussions or responsibilities. This is not true.

We must all remember that freedom of speech is related to other rights. In fact, it is a right that can get modulated by other rights and values (privacy, hate speech, pornography, harmful speech…)

Freedom of speech is very important. It is so important that we should spend more time thinking about it.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

    La liberté d’expression va de pair avec la liberté de penser . C’est un droit fondamental qui n’est pas forcément respecté dans tous les pays . Personne ne doit se sentir muselé et enfermé dans ses convictions, un boulet au pied.
