Let me start with a real history. In 2013 a student of the Higher secondary medium in Bangladesh named MD. Shakhawat Hossain from Cox'sbazar, Bangladesh. In his Facebook profile timeline, he wrote a single line about the current top of topics in our country. The line was "Something going to be bad with Iran". He posted this line in his Facebook Timeline at 10 pm. The next day at 11 am he was arrested by Bangladeshi Police as a terrorist.

It doesn't make any sense, in any democratic country. On the one hand, it is ridiculous and on the other, it is a very painful thing for being a citizen of a democratic country. A single line became the villain for Shakhawat, he was only 16 and a very brilliant student he just shared his personal opinion and thought via Facebook about the trending topics of our country. Based on a single line how police can consider one as a terrorist and he got 8-month jail as a punishment. This is really illogical and the administration proved that you have no freedom of speech in a democratic country.
The human being is naturally analytical and rational. When a person boldly and without any hesitation presents his own thinking, logic, and analysis we can say it a Free Speech. Free Speech is a complete mindset of human beings. A rational person always tries to analyze, always try to justify the good and bad ones and always try to present their opinion and thinking about something. That is free speech. A free speech can be a language of movement, a free speech can be a language of creation, a free speech can be the joy of victory, a free speech can be tears of pain, a free speech can be the way of our life.

Free Speech or Freedom of Speech is a fundamental constitution of Democracy. Free Speech doesn't mean that only you have the right to raise your political voice against your opposing political party. The democracy and the censorship doing the same thing they are using free Speech as their marketing tools. Most of the time democracy doesn't meet with the law of independence. You have the right to share your opinion, your thinking, your logic, your analysis but not negative one only just a positive one. Because democracy has the power to punish you.
In the world of internet platforms like web 2 and web 3 which is better for your free speech, who will give you the best freedom for your speech. The platform like social media whatever it based on web 2 or web 3, it's a platform for our lifestyle and our thinking. If there have no freedom of speech why we are there? Just for uploading our picture and just for sharing our daily lifestyle, if there have no value of our judgment why we run those kinds of platforms. They can ban us from their platform but they can't ban us from our thinking.

To establish peace on the earth there has no alternative of "free speech". To protest against injustice, for our fundamentals right there has no alternative of Free speech. The platform like web 2 or centralized if they only for our entertainment we should raise our voice against them, the censorship could be there but freedom of speech is our fundamental rights being a human being or being a citizen of an independent country.
Democracy and web 2 platforms acting like the same thing, they are doing their marketing by the name of free speech but they are not giving us the ultimate freedom of our speech. Stop doing support the culprit democracy and platform like web 2.
