Freedom of Speech

Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone.

Every government restricts speech to some degree. Common limitations on speech relate to: libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, hate speech, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, right to privacy, right to be forgotten, and campaign finance reform.

Whether these limitations can be justified under the harm principle depends upon whether influencing a third party's opinions or actions adversely to the second party constitutes such harm or not.

Freedom of information is an extension of freedom of speech where the expression is the Internet. Freedom of information may also refer to the right to privacy in the context of the Internet. As with the right to freedom of expression, the right to privacy is a recognised as a human right. Freedom of information may also concern censorship in an information technology context, i.e. the ability to access Web content, without restrictions.
