I guess it's your perogative to make up the definitions as you go along ............. but whether you're interested or not, this is what Wiki says!
Freedom of speech[2] is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. The term freedom of expression is usually used synonymously but, in legal sense, includes any activity of seeking, receiving, and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
i’m not making up a definition, just thinking about what it actually means. who would protect it? would it be some kind of state sanctioned ban on retaliating against people who express particular ideas?
i don’t know, maybe i’ve just never felt that my freedom to speak has been threatened, and it seems to me a bit bogus.
can we not all just get along?
