freedom of expression

[Manlikefrank1]

What is the meaning of freedom of expression?

Freedom of expression is one of the basic human rights that allows an individual to express his ideas and beliefs freely without infringing on the rights of others or spreading false propaganda and hatred.
This right is guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789 in France.
BUT
We all know that freedom of expression is very limited in third world countries, and when any statement is hostile to rulers, you put your freedom and life at risk, unlike developed countries, but we have noticed recently the lack of respect for freedom of expression by these countries
Example:
- player suspended and menaced by thier team after showing support to palestine
And the suppression of peaceful Manifestation that support Palestine
- Attacks and threats to people who do not support homosexuality.
Is this considered a suppression of freedom of expression?
Is democracy a dress for dictatorship only?

When looking at the fundamental human right it’s what makes a country a democratic system where by the state all it citizens to engage in freedoms of speech to be able to voice out.thats why we even have a system where by citizens comes outs to protest and it’s allow.due to freedom of expression and should not be deprived from any citizen in a democratic society.

We could have the freedom to express ourselves but we should always be careful how we go about that.
The laws would always come for us if we uses our mouth to fight people in the wrong way which we don't ought to.
Some in people though there is freedom of speech everywhere and they ended up talking anyhow without evidence which later resulted them to prison for the wrong saying. We need to be wise and know how we compose our words or else we would pay for it.

Freedom of expression 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.
This includes political speach, views on religion, opinions and expressions that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive, but also those that may offend , shock or disturb others.
We have the right to say what we think, share information and demand a better world. We also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests.
Note: exercising these rights without fear or unlawful interference is Central to living in an open and fair society; one in which people can access justice and enjoy their human rights.

Freedom of expression is one of the major factors that characterized democartic government .it is one of the fundamental human rights that gives An individual the right To express his or her self sometimes ,it is often called freedom of speech. But in most political Settings where bad governance ia the order of the day ,freedom of speech is neglectwd And sometimes when you Force yourself out To speak the truth they will tag it hate speech because the leader’s have placed some unwanted laws that they Dont want people To speak on especially when they are embezzling government funds.

Moreso, freedom of expression is practiced more in a well developed countries where fundamental human rights are respected And put into consideration . Where the right of the citizens are their major priority And not in a developing country where the leaders are money mongers And has no value for the constitution , they lack Respect for her citizens And considers every of their truth as hate speech .

Freedom has to operate within the boundaries of the law. If freedom will violate the law then it should not be practiced.
The law has to be Just/good so that freedom doesn't create problems for the society it's practiced in, and so that freedom to do right is not limited.

Freedom is limited to some certain things in the society or a nation be it in terms of speech, association etc, there are level to which freedom can operate anything  freedom that is going against the norm or policy of the society,  that is why one exercising freedom  must try as much as possible not to go contrary to the government policy that will kick against such freedom to avoid running into danger of the government.

You both are right. Many people talk about freedom of speech and freedom of expression without understanding that there are certain restrictions to how we can express ourselves. Considering how corrupt some leaders can be, you will be saving yourself from serious issues if you take out time to really understand the laws of your country so as to avoid being used as a scapegoat. Many people ignorantly infringe on the rights of others and promote hate speeches on any government they don't like yet they claim it's freedom of expression. While expressing yourself, be sure you are fighting for a just cause that is not influenced my personal sentiments.

With the way the world is revolving things are beginig to change either to please or displease us. Most times we are forced and deprived of this our freedom of expression as a result of specific rules implemented by the government and this same set of government we choose them ourselves. All we have to do is to keep mute at some certain levels and stick to the rules given in oder to avoid the penalties of breaking any.
Sometimes we have to compromise our beliefs the way we display them outwardly and preserves the inner self expression to ourselves just to avoid certain punishments

The digital world has changed society's paradigm and people are also required to be able to master technology, but if society's challenges are not ready to accept the changes, they will be affected by negative things because there are no boundaries at all in the digital world, even though there is distance between countries, so there are countries make strict rules to maintain this and freedom of expression also has limits, otherwise it will always be a threat among the wider community
