| - Free speech is the idea that the public good is served by allowing everyone to state their beliefs and opinions without punishment, including very unpopular and perhaps repulsive ideas. Censorship is the restriction of speech (most commonly by a government or powerful body). Belief in free speech comes in various strengths, from strongest to weakest:
* any individual discussion and forum should allow completely open and wide-ranging expression and no one should be silenced or punished in any way for the expression of any opinion in any forum
* no one should be silenced or punished by any formal group for speech or writing
* no one should be silenced or punished by the government for speech or writing
* no one should be silenced or punished by the government for speech or writing unless the language is likely to cause immediate harm (such as the stampede that might be caused by shouting "fire" in a crowded place) A belief in some degree of free speech is very widespread and freedom from government censorship is respected to some extent by the law of many countries. There are people who genuinely hold the considered belief that all forms of free speech listed are desirable, but there are others who rely on recognised benefits of "free speech" to argue that their opinions should be tolerated in any forum without believing the same about any opposing opinions. The partially contradictory opinion that an individual forum or publisher, especially if not government controlled, has the right to refuse to publish any kind of content they choose, and that this is useful in promoting productive and civil discussion.

Conservatives are not fond of free speech - they believe you can say what you want as long as it agrees with them. Free Speech is particularly frowned upon on Conservapedia , where any edit with a hint of being Liberal is deleted. And unfortunately, "Conservatives are idiotic morons" is not a 'constructive' edit. See also McCain-Feingold bill. Currently US citizens can't find out if the food they buy contains genetically modified materials. [1]. Is that consistent with free speech? Liberapedia has no control over the articles which some readers see featured in the, "Read more" section at the bottom of this and other pages. Wikia choses what to put there.
