Free Speech is mean to me Freedom of Speech. But in 2020 we need a Microscope for find out a platform where people have freedom of speech. Every platform has terms and regulation. You can not do this, you can not do that, you can not share it. Everywhere has chain of control. It is not only in web 2 platform. If we focus on world economy and politics, free speech is only available for powerful nation and rich man. What about civilian? We can not speech freely about our Government or about our boss. Everything is legal for powerful nation, powerful people. Google,facebook, twitter share user info to FBI, CIA. We know stealing is a crime for civilian. But when it did by powerful organization then it is legal.
We can not express our theory against religion. We can not protest against our government in social media platform. Even so our government banned all porn videos in our nation. So, where is freedom? We can not take Alcohol, can not see porn, can not protest against government decision, can not protest against out industries owner. Where is the freedom? Nowhere.
Free speech or freedom pf speech is a new initiative hosted by @theycallmedan.

He is a founder of 3speak. I used that platform. There are no rules and regulation,no copyright problem, people can express freely their thought. But 99.99% platform is not like 3speak. We can not share anything freely on facebook. Government filtering the status and picture share by user. You can not share any anti theory about religion. If you do then facebook will terminate your account. Let me say about twitter. Few month ago i participate some airdrop offer. They had rules to must share airdrop news on twitter and retweet with comments. For that reason twitter terminate my 10 accounts. After that i understand twitter do not allow any crypto related airdrop offer in twitter. So, twitter also have no freedom of speech.
Let me say about Steem. Steem was very popular as a freedom platform. But when justin sun bought it then he ate freedom and kill the democracy of user. Now they can fridge anyone account. I saw they hide @penguinpablo all post. @penguinpablo is a owner of steemnow.com and hive-now.com . He publish daily steem and hive report in his blog. Justin sun did not allow it. So, we can say steem lost its popularity as freedom of speech platform.
Now i want to say about hive, web 3 platform. Hive is growing rapidly. Authority never control to user. A user can share their thought here. Hive never bann or terminate his account. 3speak is a video platform of hive. You can share anything in 3speak. 3speak will never ban your account. But hive has to go long way. Hive is now in initial stage. So many developers,witness,investor doing their job to make hive better.
#What does Free Speech mean to you?
Free speech is a freedom of write, freedom of speech, freedom of speak, freedom of expression. I can have own theory about religion. But i can not express it. I have no freedom of speech. If i want to do it forcefully then i have to be get punishment by Government. Honestly i have to say nowhere has freedom of speech. If i focus on corporate level. There also do not have freedom. Everything is controlled by owner. This owner can be country owner(prime minister or president), can be chairman of Big company, can be justin sun of steem. I have no true example of free speech institution. I do not say controlling is not needed but people have to right to choose good or bad.
But talk or speech about personal attack is not free speech. I hate it. Insult,child abuse,drug dealing,money laundering is not included in free speech. Social platform good to have rules and regulation about drug dealing,child abuse,personal attack,money laundering.
Crime and free speech is not equal. If you want free speech favor of your crime then it must be controlled.
#Do you believe Free Speech is worth saving? If yes, why do you believe it is important?
A country never allow independent of any states freely. Independent wants blood, sacrifice, help of powerful country. If you can not make indepent to your state without sacrifice anything. Our country Bangladesh got Independence from Pakistan by the help from India at 1971. It called the Independent war of Bangladesh. We lost 30 million people in that war. Now i ask you now what’s your opinion about free speech is it worthy.
Free speech is not free. If you want freedom then you have to sacrifice your valuable thing or money. Still now world is not prepare for free speech. We are highly educated and want to control poor people and common civilian. Human always want to control other human.It is natural things from the beginning of creation.
#Free speech is free on Hive?
Hive is not a example of world. Everywhere free speech is not free. You have to be powerful or billionaire for having freedom. But hive is uncommon. Thats why i like this web 3 platform. Every user is equal here. We were a puppet of justin sun on steem. But here we are also a part of owner. A part of controller. A part of community. Free speech is free on hive,threespeak and dtube. But show me another example of web2 or web3 platform. Only hive is available in market where people get freedom of speech freely.
Thanks to @theycallmedan for his very important initiative. Please participate all in this initiative and write your thought about it. A valuable contribution of us can make hive a big brand and i hope we can spread hive world wide.
