Do you have any legal citations about the right to be heard?
- delinka 9y agoDo you have any legal citations about any party being compelled to listen to another such that the other's right to free speech is preserved?
- pottersbasilisk 9y agoI havent heard of the right to be heard, but most people know of free speech. So where are you getting the idea of the right to be heard ? Is it a legal idea, your personal idea, a philosophical idea ?
- henrikschroder 9y agoAre you trying to derail, or are you seriously not understanding that there is no right to be heard, it's a thing GP made up on the spot to illustrate what free speech is not?
- pottersbasilisk 9y agoLook Im not lawyer. But I do know free speech is something extraordinary legalistic in america so Im asking for clarification. http://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/about-educational-outreach/activity-resources/what-does http://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-res... https://www.thefire.org/free-speech-includes-the-right-not-just-to-speak-but-to-listen-and-judge/ https://www.thefire.org/free-speech-includes-the-right-not-j... https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/11/12/opinion/who-is-entitled-to-be-heard.html https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/11/12/opinion/who-is-entitle... A google search showed tons of different opinions and views on what I originally thought was a simple view. So no its not as simple as people are claiming or saying
- afuchs 9y agoAre you asking for proof that a speaker has a right to force other people to listen to their argument?
- pottersbasilisk 9y agoany legal precedent one way or another. Ive heard of free speech but nothing either way about a right to be heard.
- delinka 9y agoThat's because there's no "right to be heard." Just because we have a right to speak freely doesn't mean we have a right to be listened to. You might be free to say whatever you like, but everyone else is free to ignore you; owners of publishing platforms are free to not publish your recorded words. As I said, freedom of speech does not automatically transfer into a right to be heard.
- delinka 9y agoI read it as requesting exactly the opposite.
