Does free speech exist ?

@Evolved Well that would work if no one else was going to hear what you said.
It does kinda work for Donald Trump but he is loosing friends faster than he is gaining them.

@justanothername what do you mean? Freedom of Speech does not exist because you can't say anything with freedom anywhere. It 's not question anymore. No one can say what they want about anyone , anywhere, Social Media or in real life. Stop with the none-sense and listen what I'm saying. If I had freedom of speech I could say anything about anyone anytime.

@soar2newhighs If you were really "suppressed" you wouldn't be here talking about it. Try saying something against Putin in Russia or against Xi in China and see if you'll live to tell about it. That's suppression. Not merely getting suspended for breaking the TOS of a platform you've deliberately agreed with when you signed up.

@Elessar Not quite sure what you are attempting to say. What I posted is an OPINION.

@SW-User understood

@graphite If laughing at you makes me a fan, sure.

And no. I am not a cult lemming like you.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm the only one laughing - you're stewing in bitterness, hate, and rage. 🤣

@graphite It is cute all the delusions you have to convince yourself.

@Abstraction What country

@Evolved Australia. At least that's the norm. Unfortunately the previous right wing government started prosecuting whistleblowers to cover their dirty laundry.

@Elessar of course we are [b]able[/b] to say anything we want. But freedom doesn't mean ability. I will not always be free after saying certain things, right? What is "freedom?"

If you mean my personal freedom of choice, then no doubt. However, laws and police anywhere and everywhere will punish and curtail your freedom when you cross specific lines. We surely can't call [i]that[/i] freedom.

@Elessar that's kinda the difference I see between freedom of speech and consequences

@sexyjigsaw I agree

@Seashell I'm Paranoid? From asking a question on a Q&A site? how stupid is that, hahahaa. What would I be paranoid about? I have plenty of air, and maybe you need some thinking that Freedom of Speech is allowed in USA. You do know that hate speech is punishable in USA? How many type of idiot are you ?

@Seashell By your definition of free speech there should be no consequences or accountabillity?

@jshm2 If someone completely trashed your reputation with lies so that everyone believed you were a pedophile for the rest of your life... Or reveal the addresses of those in witness protection and they ended up killed... Do you think that's 'free speech'? Freedom to say anything no matter who it harms? I don't.

@jshm2 I think you might be right
