The internet is an exciting place where people from all over the world can share
their ideas and express themselves. However, I believe that free speech on the internet
should not be protected. While it is important to have the freedom to express ourselves, it
is more important to protect people from harm and make the online environment a
positive place.
One reason why free speech on the internet should not be protected is that it can
harm others greatly. Words have power, and what we say online can have a large impact on
others. Protecting free speech, while it means having the freedom to say whatever you
want, doesn’t have to mean saying whatever you want without thinking of other people’s
feelings. By simply respecting the feelings of others, we can easily create a safe online
environment.
Another reason why some limits on free speech are necessary is to prevent the
spread of misinformation. The internet is filled with all kinds of information, and not
everything we see is accurate. This is why It is important to verify that these facts are true
in order to avoid misinformation. Misinformation can cause innocent people to be targeted
and harmed. Although the people who started the ‘rumor’ might have actually thought it
was real, it is still important to limit free speech to avoid the spread of misinformation and
the people on the internet.
Free speech is important in order to express your feelings. However, it can sometimes mean
that the words are harming other people. So, it is important that free speech has limitations in order to
protect the people and maintain the safe and enjoyable online environment.
