Free Speech in the Digital Age: Challenges and Opportunities

in #hive-1679222 months ago

In the modern lifestyle that we all are living one of the things that keeps everything relevant has to be the power of freedom of speech that is offered to every individual who can be given that particular Liberty of expressing themselves in the way they want to be expressing and having that specific freedom is something which is a pillar of democracy which is a perfect form of a government and also provides opportunities for everyone in the most equal manner that can be done because without the free expression it can be very hard to express the ideas and also exchanging information based on the challenging things that can be easily solved if people are allowed to provide their input in that.

There is a very big hot that a lot of people have that if they are expressing themselves in an unrested manner and do not think about anything then the recognition of the potential consequences that they might have to face in the future can be something that stops a lot of people from exercising the right of freedom of speech because that is something that can have a lot of repercussions as well as also hold them accountable for a lot of things and these are something that people want themselves to keep away from.

As important as freedom of speech is a right for people many people do use it in the very wrong and that is something which makes it something which is a double edge Sword and also something that can be very harmful in terms of keeping peace in society itself and that is also going to be having a lot of things which are needed to be considered before even thinking of implementing because we have seen that a lot of people have been using freedom of speech in such a manner which is this respectful for some ethical considerations and also something which is testing the tolerance level of a few people and that is my freedom of speech is something that needs to be used very carefully and also be aware of the things that might happen with the consequences of what way we are using it.

In the age of social media, speech has become a very important tool because earlier it used something people did not have the particular opportunity to exercise in the right of freedom of speech but with the introduction of social media platforms it has become a lot easier or at least people now have a platform to say their Express their thought in a more expressive manner and can also reach out to a very big amount of audience at the same.

But at the same time, all of this freedom of speech on social media platforms has also given birth to the spread of a massive amount of missing formation which happens to exist at a very hued scale and also get spread so massively that it becomes very hard to control for the authorities and also make sure that the effects that it causes can be reversed because of which all of the things that it causes does make sure that those issues keep on making such impacts which are very difficult to be controlling and often becomes a very big thing before it gets under control and that has been one of the disadvantages of freedom of speech as well or maybe the failure of utilizing it in the manner it should have been done.

Social media platforms also have a power that is very enormous and the power is in the hands of a few Tech Giants which is also raising a lot of concerns about censorship and subtraction which is something that people need to understand as they have that authority which can be influenced by even bigger power such as the government which wants their news to be spread and also some sort of news that can be harmful to the image needs to be surprised that has been happening white or lot in the recent time on the social media platform as they have been influencing in a lot of manners which raises concerns on the basic fundamental of free speech.

There have been calls for Greater regulation from people who want all of these things to have a basic balance between the regulations as well as the legislation within free speech for these particular platforms as they can be influencing the entire audience with their power and there is something which is totally against the basic fact of free speech itself and that can be creating mistrust among the information that is available online and also can be promoting certain activities which the people as also protecting the public interest.

All in all free speech is a very powerful tool that leads to the existence of all society in a very proactive manner because it is that particular part of our life that cannot be completely left behind and it also needs to have certain limitations and have a particular platform where all opinions are respected and individuals are having that particular liberty to express themselves without the fear of any consequences because all of these things will be providing such an amazing environment that will be having a very good of life for people and also provide opportunities for development for that society as well.
