They say you have no freedom to shout FIRE! in a crowded theater even when you are entitled to freedom of speech!

Just a by the way.

Grace,
 
First, I'm not sure whether these terms are interchangeable. Perhaps we may need to define them first:-
 
"Freedom of expression",  "Freedom of information" ,"Information freedom"; or perhaps, "Freedom to
access information".
 
These well meaning liberties can be confusing at times.
 

If I may ask, is "Freedom of expression" the same thing as "Freedom of speech"?
Anyway, what I know is that no freedom is absolute. There are always limits around each. For instance, you are guaranteed freedom of speech/expression, but not guaranteed freedom after the said speech/expression, NOT if it violates (is likely to violate) another person's rights, like hate speech?
