is freedom of speech an absolute right ?
Freedom of speech has broadened in definition over the years by society and Supreme Court rulings. Free speech rights have been extended far beyond what our forefathers wrote, but so has technology. This right is not absolute. The old example of yelling âFire!â in a movie theater is well known, but yelling âBomb!â at an airport security checkpoint would also be a real demonstration on the limits of free speech rights. Remember, the exercise of your rights cannot infringe on another personâs rights.
