I do think we do not use our freedom of expression constructively. I am :

For a freedom of expression free from oppression.

If people can't communicate an idea without oppressing others, then they do not master their subject.

What do you think?

Should we find an approach that would encourage people to use their freedom of expression positively and dissuade them from oppressing others?

I think there is a misunderstanding in society of what freedom of expression is and what it is not, especially in terms of the Human Rights and Freedoms context.  Society needs to be better informed on how to use Freedom of Expression and not rely on misinformation or the floor standard as set out by social media.

I agree with this Sabra. Are you aware of any guidelines that could help citizens better use their freedom of expression?
