When censorship is called freedom of speech. [redux]
When I published yesterdays article I might have been too quick to form an opinion regarding ViralDeath and JohannaXn. After having a very interesting conversation with JohannaXn I am starting to understand that we have a similar view when it comes to freedom of speech; there are just a few minor details that differ, which ignited my questioning of their [ViralDeath & JohannaXn] intepretation of freedom of speech.
I might disagree that posting pictures of murder victim has no value at all in certain cases. My pen is my sword, and even if we say that a picture can speak a thousand words, it is much easier to take images out of context than words.
Also I tend to be more careful with demanding moderation in a public setting. As I said before, I must question someone’s intentions when they preach freedom of speech and limiting speech in the same sentence.
I offered JohannaXn to have the article edited as she did not expect me to quote her, but she said it was not needed.
I made the assumption that they would find my assumed unpublished comment and already knew about my blog; and I also asked ‘for a statement’, which I thought was something a journalist would ask.
I think it is important, as a journalist, to be able to be honest if your make a mistake as you should always strive to provide facts.
