A lot of people messaged
asking about the Ban on Lucman and whether it violates freedom of speech laws
etc.
Is publishing someone's
personal photos freedom of speech? Is abusing someone freedom of speech? What
if I were to pick someone from this page and spread lies upon lies about them
which are yet to be proven in any court of law, is that freedom of speech? Is publishing
someones sms history, freedom of speech? Is saying what is untrue freedom of
speech?
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
"Everyone has the
right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold
opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and
ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
However, it also places
a few restrictions, which do not come under freedom of speech:
1. Libel (a published
false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written
defamation)
2. Slander (the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation)
3. Obscenity (an extremely offensive word or expression)
4. Hate speech (Abuses and targeting on basis of race and religion)
5. Sedition (conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state)
6. Pornography (printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual activity)
7. Classified Information (such as State Secrets)
8. Copyright Violation (material which is legally owned and copyrighted by someone else)
9. Trade Secrets (a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, commercial method, or compilation of information which is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable by others)
10. Non-disclosure agreements (agreements in which you agree not to disclose information)
11. Right to privacy (any action which violates the privacy of an individual, such as publishing someone’s personal photos)
2. Slander (the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation)
3. Obscenity (an extremely offensive word or expression)
4. Hate speech (Abuses and targeting on basis of race and religion)
5. Sedition (conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state)
6. Pornography (printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual activity)
7. Classified Information (such as State Secrets)
8. Copyright Violation (material which is legally owned and copyrighted by someone else)
9. Trade Secrets (a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, commercial method, or compilation of information which is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable by others)
10. Non-disclosure agreements (agreements in which you agree not to disclose information)
11. Right to privacy (any action which violates the privacy of an individual, such as publishing someone’s personal photos)
Hope this answers a lot
of the questions that were asked.
