If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington.

There is a need to air your opinion and need to make it known, it is important to let it out because either things going on does not sit well with you or vice versa that way you prevent being led the wrong path.

Everyone is entitled to their individual opinion, sometimes those opinions do not align well with us, and sometimes those opinions can be nice.
However, if the solution to those opinions is to harass or fight them all because it does not sit well with us then we are certainly threatening the freedom of speech

We all get to express our thoughts, ideas, and opinions without restraint all because of the principle guiding freedom of speech.

But as easy as freedom of speech is, it now comes with some restrictions because not all opinions sit well with people in power.

People are now under limitations on what to say because of fear of the consequences.

This affect in so many ways like

MAKING PEOPLE LIVE IN AN UNEQUAL SOCIETY

One thing freedom of speech brings is a fair and equal society but having restrictions on some while some get to air every of their opinions makes the society becomes unequal

TRUTH BECOMES HIDDEN

Why do we have to restrict some things to be said if not for the fear of letting the truth out.
Some restrictions are made just to prevent truth.

Freedom of speech is nice and fair likewise freedom of speech does not protect one from the consequence of saying stupid things

There are limitations to freedom of speech these included.

PLACE

Not everywhere we find ourselves we have the right to express sometimes we just need sit calm and observe.

MANNER

How we let our speech is also to be considered, if the speech is of great value and expressed in a very bad way rather than receiving accolades it might as well end us in trouble.

TIME

when we express ourselves we also need to considers,is the expression corresponds to what going on

It is okay to express ourselves when we feel the need to, the only important thing is to consider the manner, time, and place we are doing such to prevent receiving trouble instead of accolades.

It's very good that you mentioned the conditions that restrict the freedom of speech.
But still, the freedom of speech is one of the most fundamental human rights and should not be tampered with.

I believe that we are been deprived of that right and that's why we can't stop bad habits from growing in the society, everyone will be silent when they know heads will role for saying the truth.

Your post just reminded me of a scene I saw in a movie when President Nixon of the United States swallowed a truth bug. I could no longer tell lies and the whole of history was wrecked because Nixon couldn't tell a lie.

It was very funny to watch.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but then when airing it, it's important that it is done in a civilized manner and without any disrespect.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Exactly that way freedom of speech is appreciated

Many are deprived of speaking even when we all have the freedom to air our opinions but it doesn´t sit well with most of them. Though we need to limit ourselves to what we can say or not say especially in public because not all words are to be disclosed. It´s important to think well before speaking out so one doesn´t implicate himself or herself. I came through Dreemport.

You've just dropped from a nice point of view.
Though it important to let known our point of views but at the same time think well before doing such.
Thank you for dropping by.
