Free Speech
Free speech, also known as freedom of expression, is the right to express one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship. It is a fundamental human right recognized in various international treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Free speech encompasses various forms of expression, including spoken, written, and symbolic communication. While it is protected in many democratic societies, it is subject to certain limitations, such as restrictions on hate speech, incitement to violence, and defamation. The balance between free speech and other societal interests remains a topic of ongoing debate.
