Free speech and censorship
Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democracy, but should it be absolute?
While open dialogue is essential for progress, not all speech deserves protection—especially when it incites violence, spreads hate, or undermines fundamental human rights. Today, the battle over free expression is not just about government censorship but also about defining its limits.
True free speech empowers people, challenges authority, and fosters understanding. But when words become weapons—fueling racism, fascism, or dehumanization—censorship is not oppression; it is a necessary safeguard. The challenge is not whether we should regulate speech, but how to do so without silencing dissent or eroding democratic values.
