Innledning
Today’s modern society harbors a fear of voicing controversial opinions or beliefs publicly. Many people take active countermeasures every day to not say anything that may offend anyone or show share to a view partly anyone shares.
When speaking publicly, people with large public profiles must take extra precautions due to their influence amongst their followers.
That’s a problem many find in conflict with the freedom of speech. But what happens with those who dare to share their thoughts?
Utdrag
We are constantly hearing about new cancelation events happening, and people getting silenced and censored.
The cancelation of public figures is becoming more common than ever. An example of big figures that are claimed to be canceled is JK Rowling, partly Will Smith, Joe Rogan, and recently Kanye West and Andrew Tate.
All these have something in common. They have a big audience and have said something that is considered offensive and socially unacceptable.
Let's look closer at Andrew Tate's case. He has been accused of misogyny and therefore forcing a damaging mindset on young men.
These allegations of misogyny are taken from video clips of him and are taken out of context in his words.
“They banned me simply because I have large swaths of the population agreeing to very traditional masculine values.
Teenage men and young men… were looking up to me and aspiring to be like me,” he said on Fox News. Without taking his view in consideration, he’s now banned on nearly every platform
These influencers you see have been debating if their right to free speech has been taken away from them, has it?
