Freedom of Speech - Your inputs
The Supreme Court today has scrapped a controversial law - the Section 66 A of the Information and Technology Act - which allowed arrests over objectionable content online.
Per the petitioners, this will prevent misuse as a few times in the past genuine comments criticising a person, and caricatures had become an excuse for harassment/arrests.
We would like to seek your comments and views on the same and as a community let us develop what should be permissible/not permissible so the common man is empowered to air grievances/views/criticism without fear and at the same time not defame individuals/organizations without basis.
We look forward to your inputs!

Freedom is good. But to what level? It is very important. Yes, the freedom must be fundamental right provided following conditions are satisfied 1. The comment or news does not affect our Nation in any manner 2. Any such comment must be have demonstrated and measurable evidence, not assumption 3. If not sure about the authenticity of a news/issue better do not spread false news 4 For each issue we have to do weightage with both number of people affected and the amount of money lost more

Freedom of speech - At whose cost? Is Insulting language, Abuses, Filthy language, Negative propaganda without any truth, Defaming someone who is innocent, Vulgarity, Publishing against someone as a paid news, are few examples which can not be included as freedom of speech. Whistle blowing, informing police/CBI about crime, taking oath, speaking against anti-nationals , corrupt politicians and public servants are good examples of freedom of speech that needs to be protected. If an innocent gets punished for wrong affidavit is not freedom of speech. If a criminal goes Scot free because witnesses remained silent is a murder of freedom of speech. more
