Your 'Freedom of Expression' Carries "Special Duties and Responsibilities"


Why so much bitterness in the name of political Campaign?
Why so many lies and misinformation?
Why so many treated/edited/photoshopped images just to back up lies?
Why so much confusion?
Why so much cruel and inhumane fabricated texts flying around?

Let's the Rivalry be a very healthy one.
Let's use the technology positively.

We all know that there's freedom of expression, also there's limitation to it, especially "when the rights or reputations of others are involved". So let's be civil and show maturity and manners in addressing other individuals. We all have our "rights" also we do have our "obligations".  

According to Article 19 (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), your freedom of expression carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subjected to certain restrictions" when necessary, "for respect and the rights of reputation of others" or "for the protection of national security or public order or public health."
