For me it is the freedom to challenge authority, orthodoxy, or accepted wisdom. It is the means by which societies evolve and renew themselves, and individuals find expression for their thoughts and creativity.

It is a privilege as much as a right. Individual freedom of speech much be balanced against the rights of others and wielding it does not absolve you from social responsibilities as some people may think.
