Whats the point of freedom of expression

Freedom of expression has certain limitations. There are certain things by law you cannot do. You aren’t allowed to tell another person to commit a crime, saying or writing deaths threats to another person is illegal, telling another person to commit suicide is illegal.
Where I live calling a person a nasty name online only one time isn’t enough to get criminally charged but if they do it repeatedly they can get criminally charged.

Calling a person an insulting name online only 1 time likely isn’t enough to get criminally charged where I live.
If you do it repeatedly then you can get criminally charged with harassment, stalking or cyber bullying.

The fact it's freedom of expression, doesn't mean you have to be provocative

[Asker]

I’m not. But people are so fragile with their egos

we lived under British where speech got punished. it was suffering and tyrrany. we need to change that: no punishment for opinions. even offensive ones. but facebook is the same old British tyrrany. spelled with 2 y!

The freedom of expression is to say what you want but at the same time staying respectful and trying your best not to offend the others, the freedom of expression comes with personal responsibility!

Whenever I can get somehting off my chest I always feel better.

Getting offended is your problem. The responsibility is not on the one talking.

[NaultD]

Being offended is an expression.

[jahaims]

You could just not care what others think

[fishbone77]

your offence isn't my problem.

I'd rather everyone focus on the freedom to STFU
