The essential manifestation of existing is communicating. The first action of a regime on the road to dictatorship is to restrict freedom of communication, your right to exist and manifest yourself, as it were. Like any abuser, the best protection against the consequences of its harmful actions is to impose the law of silence, censorship, and instill fear of speaking out in others.
That's why the freedom to communicate is at the heart of the constitutions of all states founded on citizenship: we're not afraid of citizens' contributions to the activities of the state; on the contrary, we seek them out; the state has little or nothing to hide.
That's why we also benefit from increasing the freedom to communicate by all means: everyone benefits. But communicating does not mean spreading falsehoods and lies, destroying reputations or spreading hatred. With the right to communicate comes responsibility: the common good.
