Censorship Or Control Quotes

“Why is it still called freedom of speech when people are threatened, violated, harassed, killed, or punished for speaking their mind and telling the truth?

How can it be considered free speech when people have paid for it with their lives, careers, dignity, social media accounts, visas, passports, jobs, and even their ID cards?
When you speak the truth, you are targeted, sanctioned, denied or stripped of a visa, deported, flagged on social media, banned, suppressed, cancelled, or fired.
How can it be called freedom of speech if I am only allowed to repeat the script they give me? If I must choose my words from their approved list?

I am allowed to say only the good things about them, but I cannot speak about the wrong things they do. They are free to say what they want, but I am not free to say what I want, I can only say what they want. How, then, can this be called freedom of speech? Is it freedom or is it controlled, policed speech?”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos
