Everyone, regardless of their religion or culture, has the
human right to  privatelimitsinvestigationexpresssuspendedfinedpostingharm themselves, including children and
young people. In 1948, the UN recognised free speech as a
human right in the International Declaration of Human Rights.
Part of this right of freedom of expression involves being able
to find out information for yourself, so you are able to share it in
the way you want. People can express themselves in all kinds of
different ways: talking out loud,  expresspostinginvestigationprivatefinedsuspendedlimitsharm things on the Internet,
and writing things for a book or newspaper.
There are some  limitsfinedsuspendedexpressprivatepostinginvestigationharm to freedom of expression. People
cannot express themselves in a way that would  limitsharmfinedpostingprivatesuspendedexpressinvestigation the
rights or reputation of others. For example, they do not have the
right to reveal  postingsuspendedinvestigationexpressfinedharmlimitsprivate information about someone, or to say
things about a person that are not true. People cannot express
themselves in a way that would threaten the safety of others.
For example, they cannot tell people there is a fire in a crowded
building when there is not. People cannot express themselves in
a way that would hurt members of their community.
For example, the US President Donald Trump’s Twitter account
was suspended because some of his posts encouraged violence.
Mr. Trump was locked out of his account after he called the
people who stormed the US Capitol “patriots”. In US, an  expresssuspendedfinedlimitsharminvestigationpostingprivate
conducted by the Information Commissioner’s Office found that
TikTok video-sharing app may have breached data protection law
by processing the data of children under the age of 13 without parental consent, and the company might be forced to a £27m fine for failing to protect the
privacy of children. Facebook has been  expresssuspendedprivatepostingharminvestigationlimitsfined €265m by the Irish data watchdog after a breach
that resulted in the details of more than 500 million users being published online.
Sometimes governments can limit this freedom of expression. For example, in 2019, in
Bangladesh, Internet access was  investigationsuspendedexpresslimitspostingfinedharmprivate during elections. In Ethiopia, the Internet was cut off
as a measure to prevent cheating during national secondary school final exams.
