    Insulting people can be legally protected because it's an opinion as well. The only exceptions are provable defamation of character (libel or slander). That's why journalists can be sued if they fail to fact-check what they say about a public figure, but stand-up comedians can say whatever they want.
    Some other forms of "speech" that are not legal are inciting panic, conspiracy to commit a crime, copyright infringement... Probably other things that I'll think of later. (There are also FCC rules about using swearwords on television using wireless transmitters during daylight hours, but most of those rules are just silly.)

      Shawn, you are thinking like an American; this video is speaking about United Nations controls, they are the ones who tell all the smaller countries what they must teach in their schools if they want to enjoy "most favored nation" status and be protected from neighboring enemies. You would be surprised about the rapid change in sexual practices, preferences, and ideology since Mongolia adopted these "guidelines". The alternative is to risk further control from China who has already forbid Mongolian language being taught, or traditional clothing be worn in inner Mongolian schools that they control.
      Soon the UN hope to get rid of the American constitutional model and implant a global standard, what President Bush called "New World Order".

      As per wikipedia (Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_theater):
      "Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout fire in a theater depends on the circumstances in which it is done and the consequences of doing it. The act of shouting fire when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. However, if it causes a stampede and someone is killed as a result, then the act could amount to a crime, such as involuntary manslaughter, assuming the other elements of that crime are made out."

    • @jfrancis232

      a clear seperation of facts and opinions is nearly impossible in normal human communication. Two different people with two different opinions can read the same text with different inflections, communicating an opinion without changing the text at all. Holding media outlets accountable for their motivations is problematic in the extreme. What motivations would you declare actionable? Profit? increase in audience? most media outlets have similar motivations. What changes is the means that they use. Sure it would be great to pass a law that " the media may not lie", but holding all media to that standard would be nearly unenforcable.

    This is not correct. Freedom of speech also means that people can say things which are factually incorrect, except for cases of defamation of character. The problem with prohibiting people from saying things which are factually incorrect is that things which were once thought to be irrefutable facts turned out not to be true. Science advances by challenging the accepted paradigm. Even a new idea which turns out to be wrong can be beneficial, in that it may stimulate others to come up with theories that revolutionize our understanding of the Universe.

      I think it depends per country. Freedom of speech is different everywhere. For example, if you said something negative but true about someone in the United States, you would be okay. But in Japan, if you said something negative but true about someone, you could be convicted(?) of defamation if it caused damages to the person despite it being true.

    Freesdom of speech comes NOT from governments. It is part of your natural right to liberty, which comes from the simple fact that each individual adult owns their own body and life. You have a natural right to do whatever you want, so long as you are not violating the rights to life, liberty or property of another person. That's your right to liberty. Good governments defend this natural right. Bad ones violate it. That's how we know the difference between good governments and bad ones.

    Let's assume it's true for a moment. What makes a statement an insult? Is it when the person making it intends to say something negative about another party? Or is it when a person being talked about declares that the other party has spoken negatively about them?

Short of that, even if people want to lie on the internet, if you aren't directly bringing harm that can be proven or to ruin someone's life, even lying should be protected in freedom of speech and that kind of lying needs to be vetted by the marketplace of ideas, where speech stands on if it can be proven or not

The people who arrest someone else who's exercising freedom of speech to the one who's arrested for standing for a cause should never happen for they are innocent people.

    That literally negates the entirety of freedom of speech because if you don’t have the freedom to state something or classify something as being a fact if that statement can be objectively proven otherwise, then you don’t have freedom of speech. If someone genuinely believes the thing they are stating then it would be a lie for them to call their statement as anything other than a fact.
    This means that If I believe something is a certain way and I truly do believe it to be that way, if a make a statement about it, all someone else has to do is prove me wrong and that then would Mean the statement falls outside of legal, freedom of speech.

    Huge fan of Sprouts, but this one misses the mark by a mile. This lesson incorrectly interprets free speech and pushes the globalist UN and WEF agenda of censorship with a good dose of climate change and a sprinkle of anti-gun propaganda. This is an example of how education today pushes socialist anti-freedom concepts as good or normal, along with advocating and teaching the abdication of individual responsibility (e.g., don't think for yourself, the government or someone else will do that for you). Using Greta Thunberg as your avatar for this lesson was a poor choice, but easy to see why if your objective is to push an underlying agenda more than understand the concept of free speech. You should watch your own video on BONHOEFFER'S THEORY OF STUPIDITY first, and then think critically about the underlying yet not-so-hidden message in this lesson. In America, our Constitution PROTECTS our Rights as a birthright FROM the government, our Rights are NOT granted to us BY the government. This lesson advocates suppressing and censoring any unapproved thinking or speech and conveniently leaves out who decides what thoughts are allowed.

    Additionally, when it comes to lying, someone can also lie if they choose. They just have to face the consequences. It is our responsibility to be mature in our ability to learn about as much as we can, use reason, and discern truth from lies and rebutt them. Intelligently.

    I think many people would agree that freedom of speech is ”bad” when it comes to allegations like how parents sued social media companies like Meta, even making their CEOs express grief and sorrow over the decisions that some of his young clients, namely young teens, commited suicide because of an indirect result of his product. I can understand the fact that you as a parent who lost a kid due to cyber-bullying want to express your anger towards un unknown danger that social media can cause, but suing and going as far as putting someone in the position to admit that ”he has blood on his hands” when he has no reason to admit it, that is not right.

    Freedom of speech are in align with human rights. You can express your opinion and idea that confront or completely against other people opinion and idea, but it is only limited to you expressing your opinion and idea only. You don't have right to force other person to accept your opinion and idea against their will, because you will violate the other person's basic human right of expressing their opinion and idea, also rights to believing in it
    What i see in today's phenomenon is
    Some people have opinion and idea about something. They try to spread that opinion and idea to others. To those who accept, they will have this feeling of togetherness or belonging to a group. But to others that don't accept, they began to see that person as some kind of enemies that opose serious threat that should be eradicated, alienated or kicked out from the society.
    Let me take one example of this
    Sexual orientation regardles LGBTQ.
    Expressing your sexual orientation that in align with lgbtq agenda are basicaly part of your right to express your self and you have rights to talk about your sexual orientation as part of free speech.
    But all your rights that related to your sexual orientation limited to expressing it to others only, as you don't have any right to force others to accept your sexual orientation against their will. This including you are not allowed to do labeling to anyone who doesn't accept your sexual orientation, such as calling those who don't accepting as homophobic.
    If you do that, not only you are violating that person basic rights of free speech and freedom to believe in something, you also destroying the very basic understanding of human rights it self because you treating your own human rights higher than the others, which is a violation to the human rights it self

The State power with the guns determines "what is true by objective standards". Right now in China, people are locked up in mental institutes and tortured for speaking against "The Party" because only a crazy person would speak against the party, therefore, they are condemned as crazy and locked away until they are broken and publicly denounce their previous ideas. I'm sure that the sponsoring channel "Sprouts" would not object to any of the items on Mussolini's Party Platform because it is completely in line with the UN agenda; it claims to be antidogmatic, antidemagogic, and antiprejudicial. It wants voting rights, women's rights, a lowering of the voting age to get more young people involved, a minimum wage, legislation powers to be given to specialized departments (appointed, not elected) like departments of transportation; power; environmental; etc. Mussolini demanded a progressive tax and reparations paid by the rich who profited unfairly, and by the Church (that the Church property be confiscated in the name of social justice).

    The problem with using "free speech" to protect a protest is that some lawmakers use it as a line of demarcation with regard to labor strikes and other forms of righteous civil unrest. If workers want to disrupt a business by refusing to work and blocking scabs from entering the building, they can achieve results, but if we use the "free speech" metric to define what types of strike behavior is legal, then the strike becomes a "protest," and the police (assuming they follow the rules) must protect the workers' right to walk around carrying signs, but not to interfere with their employer's business (such as blocking customers or scabs from entering). This makes the strike less effective. Similarly, the Occupy Wall Street movement started out as a direct response to corporate bailouts, attempting to block traffic entering or exiting the financial district. The (respectable, albeit overly ambitious) goal was to put pressure on the same groups of people who have the ear of the politicians to change national fiscal policy. The problem is that when police forced them to avoid blocking traffic, the movement just became a generic "protest" against wealth inequality, attracting fair-weather-socialists and band-wagon-partygoers. The movement basically fizzled out as a result. My point is that sometimes, the "illegal" protest is the right course of action, and trying to fit a protest into what is legally-protected speech could cause it to become less effective.
