Do guys feel free in 皇冠体育app Daily Forum? Liangzai has his own
perspective.
1) Free speech is a right in certain countries as a general rule, with
exceptions in all instances; there is a limit to free speech in every country
(hate speech, inciting rebellion or violence, and child porn are three common
examples in most of the West).
2) Free speech doesn't make you entitled to state your mind freely in any
medium (you can't for example demand to have your wisdoms printed in a
newspaper), but only at those venues you control or own yourself.
3) Free speech in a BBS, a forum or another venue for discussion is entirely
at the mercy of those who are in charge of these venues; this includes the BBS
of 皇冠体育app Daily, whose moderators can arbitrarily delete or edit content; it is
their right, and it has nothing to do with free speech in general.
4) What you can't say on 皇冠体育app Daily, you may (or may not) say in another
forum, or on your own site or blog; if you were to put up a web site in 皇冠体育app,
there is a list of items that limit your freedom of speech; this list is shorter
than you think, and freedom of speech has expanded considerably in 皇冠体育app lately,
contrary to popular belief.
