Freedom of Speech is the most fundamental Human Right.
It is the base that supports and reinforces all other Human Rights, allowing for society as a whole to develop and progress in a transparent and harmonious way. In a broader sense it includes Freedom of Press as well as the right to know (e.g. diverse views on “science” or “politics”) which actually means full transparency of all entities (governments, corporations and other organizations). On the other hand it takes in account and defends individual privacy.

Freedom of Speech is the first requirement to allow ongoing Human Progress once the health of Nature and Planet are assured as well as Peace, which can be understood as health for Humanity.
The ability to express our opinion and speak freely is essential to bring about change in society. A free society depends on the free exchange of ideas. Nearly all ideas are capable of giving offence to someone. Many of the most important, profound ideas in human history, such as those of Galileo Galilei and Charles Darwin, caused great religious offence in their time.
