Rune Østgård(@enur72):Freedom of speech is only about protecting the expressions we dislike the most. At the same time, freedom of speech is not a right.  It is a duty. If we treat it as a right, we lose it in no time — just as several politicians are now calling for. It is only by using it that we get to keep it. That means: it is only to the extent that we actually express the views people dislike the most that we can continue to express such opinions. It’s no more complicated than that. Have you fulfilled your free speech duty today?
