WHAT IS FREE SPEECH

FREE SPEECH IS EXACTLY WHAT IS SAYS
YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO OPENLY EXPRESS YOUR OPINION
ABILITY TO USE YOUR VOICE TO CONVEY POLITICAL MESSAGES
IT DOES NOT PROTECT THREATS OR ACTIVE VIOLENCE

INTERVIEWS

BEEN ELIMINATED

FREE SPEECH IS A FUNDAMENTAL THING
FOUNDATIONAL TO HUMAN FLOURISHING IS THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEMOCRACY AND A BULWARK AGAINST TYRANNY
MORE OUTSPOKEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW FOR SPEAKING ABOUT GOVERNMENT
FREE SPEECH HAS BEEN USED AS A SCAPEGOAT

IT HAS NOT BEEN VIOLATED

PEOPLE WERE MAKING THREATS
THEY WERE APART OF HATE GROUPS
BELIEVED TO BE A DANGER TO A COUNTRY
WERE OUTSIDE OF FREE SPEECH ZONES

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
IS EVERYONE WHO TALKS A THREAT?
SHOULD FREE SPEECH BE MORE ACCEPTABLE?
WHY ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING THEIR MIND?
FINALLY, IS FREE SPEECH DYING?
