Preferred term

freedom of speech  

Definition(s)

  • Free speech refers to verbal and other symbolic expression absent external constraints, whether such constraints are governmental or societal. In a globalizing world, different approaches to protecting or controlling speech create the potential for both greater homogeneity and sharper divisions among the nations increasingly interconnected in an international community.
