Really good post!
I agree with you, we do not have right to free speech. We must conjugate space, time and our emotional content, even in the best situation we are limited to a very narrow topics controlled by some kind of moderator.
Your right to free speech is inversely proportional to the size of your crowd!
I am a NNES
Thanks for your feedback and support, @quigua.
"I do not agree with what you say, but I shall fight for you to have the right to say it " Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1712 - 1778
It was a time when you go in prison when you tell your opinion.
Ask Edward Snowden if this time has ended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau
The Friends of Voltaire, and is often misattributed to Voltaire, himself.
Hi @chrisaiki, thanks for sharing, however, you have incorrectly attributed that quote to Rousseau. The statement 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it' was actually written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall in her book, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Beatrice_Hall

Thanks for sharing, @razvanelulmarin. This one must have slipped by me.
It is an interesting discussion and I feel like a lot of this is happening on YouTube right now where people's videos are being de-monatized for cussing and other things.
