Answer

 Q: Now the topic we are going to focus on today is free speech. Presumably, you often go to free speech at some level, but let's start by getting clear. What do we mean by free speech? A: By free speech, I mean the need for restrictions on the way which governments can regulate speech. Whether speech is free on the further sense and whether people have opportunities is a very important thing, but it's not the issue of free speech. Q: That's really interesting, because you measure it by talk about regulation and controlling. What can be said? A: Speaking is not without costs. What people say can cause injury, can disclose private information, can cause harm for public information. It's not a free zone where you can do anything because nothing matters. Speech matters. But because it matters, it's very important that governments who want to regulate speech, for example to prevent things that would be embarrassing to politicians or otherwise upset the government, that's important that power should be restricted.
