Freedom of expression is inseparable from the right to privacy.
Should journalists be forced to reveal their sources if the subject of a claim sues for defamation?
- rini17 3mo agoFreedom of expression is not absolute and never was. Should everyone just shrug off anonymous hoaxes and hate speech?
- LtWorf 3mo agoYes, the alternative is that you will only read state propaganda.
- itubaj 3mo agoYes. If, unfortunately, I need to live in only one of two scenarios, i.e.: 1. I need to identify myself for everything on the internet because of said "hoaxes" and "hate speech"; 2. I don't need to identify myself anywhere on the internet, and let go of said "hoaxes" and "hate speech", but can have the right of saying anything that I need to say without fearing for my safety and the safety of my relatives due to the government; Then yes, I would prefer the second option without a blink. Unfortunately, for what we have seen in the last few decades, there is no intermediary option. The proverb is true: give them an inch, and they will take a mile.
- rini17 3mo agoYou don't have the right to say anything NOW already. Please wake up.
- AnimalMuppet 3mo agoAnd yet you said that. With no repercussions. Maybe you need to make up.
- rini17 3mo agoRepercussions happen all the time. That nothing happened in this one case does not prove or disprove anything.
