They say you have no freedom to shout FIRE! in a crowded theater even when you are entitled to freedom of speech!
If I may ask, is "Freedom of expression" the same thing as "Freedom of speech"?On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 12:15, Harry Delano <harry@comtelsys.co.ke> wrote:
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 toaccess information".These well meaning liberties can be confusing at times.
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?
