Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences of speech. This is true. However, if the consequences of speaking lawfully are that you or your family face threats, assault, jail, or loss of income - whether government or mob-sanctioned - then you don't have free speech.

As a journalist, one of the first rules we were taught was never, ever to alter anyone’s quotes. It’s dishonest. And disempowering. If you don’t like the words someone uses, don’t use them. Or find your own. Don’t change theirs.

Trans rights are human rights. Women’s rights are human rights. And freedom of expression is a human right. If we don’t protect freedom of speech, we can’t advocate for any of these other rights. Freedom of speech for all is essential if we are to protect *everybody’s* rights.

Free speech includes the right to say things that others find shocking, disturbing and offensive. Outside of direct incitement to violence it is almost impossible to construct laws against speech in a way that targets only ‘bad’ speech.

I see we're confused again about what "freedom of speech" means. For clarity: it doesn't mean you get to say whatever you like without other people using their own freedom of speech to criticise or call you out for it. It doesn't mean you have the absolute right to a platform.

“At least 19 journalists have been killed in Israel and the Palestinian territory since 1992. In 18 of those cases, the expected suspected source of fire was Israeli military officials. And 16 of those were Palestinian. No one has been held to account.”

Award winning journalist
@mattoosanna
stopped for a second time from leaving India. No reason given. This time Sanna was on her way to collect a
@PulitzerPrizes
award for her and her colleagues powerful images of the COVID 19 death toll in India. Shameful.
I was on my way to receive the Pulitzer award (

I see replies here saying “hate speech is not free speech.”I wrote a few years ago on why hate speech laws are so problematic -and why broad, vague definitions about the kinds speech deemed worthy of restraint often end up harming those they should protect

This is appalling. Thinking of her family and all our friends

In Cairo, probably the most dangerous big city on earth for women, Amal Fathy has been sentenced to a year in gaol after describing on Facebook how she'd been sexually harassed in a bank; 'fake news', said the judge. She is now being tried for being a terrorist.

I am going to say this again, slowly. "Free speech" is not a get out of jail free card. It is not a magic defence. Disagreeing with someone does not give you the right to threaten them with violence. 1/

The raid by police on a local US newspaper office and homes of reporters is deeply disturbing. Local news providers are essential in holding power to account - and they must be able to report freely, without fear of authorities’ overreach.

Journalists are under threat worldwide - not just in war zones. Grateful to
@brianstelter
@ReliableSources
for giving me the opportunity to discuss the challenges facing press freedom globally. As I take the helm
@pressfreedom
, our focus remains pushing back against those threats

And you may disagree with me on where we should draw the line. That’s fine. But without freedom to speak we cannot have the difficult conversations that allow us to learn and change - and do better - as societies.

Threats to the press are multiplying. I spoke to

No, you’re right. It doesn’t look like you. Apparently the sculptor wanted to go more for an ‘everywoman’ appeal. Yes, the woman is naked. And tiny. Tiny is quite fashionable now.

on speaking up and speaking out. We'll explore the protections afforded to free speech and how we can support one another so everyone can be heard. Cannot wait.

This. Over and over. This👇
The Israel-Gaza war is now THE deadliest for journalists covering conflict ANYWHERE since CPJ began documenting fatalities in 1992.
At least 36 journalists and media workers have been killed. Palestinian TV journalist Mohammed Abu Hatab is the latest.
We can’t take it anymore, we’re exhausted… We’re gonna get killed, it’s just a matter of when. There’s no protection, no impunity. These PPEs don’t protect us. Nothing protects journalists. We lose lives, one by one… Mohammed Abu Hatab was here, half an hour ago.
