When Democracy Dies in Silence
Free speech is a cornerstone of any healthy democracy, serving as a vital mechanism for holding power to account, fostering public debate, and protecting individual autonomy. When a government in a democratic society attempts to suppress free speech, it undermines the very foundation on which democracy stands. Such suppression stifles dissent, limits access to diverse perspectives, and erodes public trust in institutions. It creates a climate of fear and conformity, where citizens may hesitate to express ideas that challenge the status quo. Over time, this weakens civic engagement and enables authoritarian tendencies to take root, threatening the balance of power and the rights of the people.
