Description:

Many people in the world can enjoy freedom of speech .

This freedom has become stronger with social media and seems to be more dominant since COVID-19 . 

 

Yet where does this freedom becoming bullying? 

When does responding to somebody else’s points of view where this freedom might go too far? 

Is there still space for a multiplicity of views and narratives? 

And when the idea of a ‘right’ narrative seems to be dominating through bullying or trolling 

What to do? 

 

  • Freedom of speech by those in positions of power / privilege might create less counter-response than with other people 
  • When certain people shame or bully : what to do? 
  • Does not responding mean enabling? 
  • Have we gotten too used to people using foreful language: are you de-sensitized to it?
