What do you consider to be the greatest benefit of Freedom of Expression? What do you see as the greatest hazard? And how do we maximize said benefit while reducing the likelihood of said hazard?
You get to express who you are, how you feel and what you think. This is necessary. Hazard: hurt feelings, simple people being deceived. How maximize: protect this freedom.
Thanks for the reply Clammy. To go a bit further, what makes it necessary to be able to express who you are, how you feel, and what you think? And do you think there are any dangers involved if simple people are deceived far enough?
@StrykerWolfe expressing yourself is an extension of thought. If you think, you need to express your thoughts, hone them and put them out to the world. There are dangers to every freedom including this one. Gullible people have been deceived into supporting murderous ideologies.
@Clammypollack Well put.
