The problem of freedom of speech caught the attention of thinkers from the very beginnings of our civilization, but it was only in the modern age that it became a central issue both in theoretical philosophy and in social practices that aimed at organizing a rational political community. Freedom of speech is not only a matter of the individual’s private right, but also one of the fundamental conditions for the proper functioning of the public sphere. Secondly, the space of mutual communication has gone through the last decades and we are still experiencing extremely dynamic changes before our eyes – we live in the proverbial “global village” in a total network where the possibilities of accessing information, storing it, analyzing and exchanging views with others seem unlimited. However, parallel to these possibilities, extremely real threats appear: the danger of being manipulated by entities that are difficult to identify, as well as the phenomenon of excessive “crowds of information” and the inability to practically distinguish the fact from the appearance, the essential from the banality. The aim of the article is the author’s presentation of the idea of freedom of speech present in the scientific literature and the presentation of one case study that eludes standard public behavior.
