RE: How Free is Freedom?

in Hive Learners2 years ago

Good post. Are you one of the founders of Status? I'll check it out because I try to keep track of all the cryptosocial media sites that I know about. I wrote a book on them and have a list of more than 100 currently active.

As far as freedom goes, it isn't an absolute. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater, for instance. But you CAN yell "movie" in a crowded firehouse. lol

Anyway, freedom has guardrails, but that doesn't mean censorship.

No, I am not one of the founders of Status. Thanks for checking out.

Well, the idea was not to put out freedom as an absolute. Just me saying “freedom of speech in our current world is a myth”. I understand why we might not have absolute freedom of speech to maintain orderliness and all but save the uncivil people, even people who state the truth with probably a little harshness in tone might not have freedom after speech.

Excellent point. The best way to ensure freedom is to assume it.
