Pro:
In most civilised countries, the freedom of speech allows you the protected right to let others know what you think. It means that even if people do not like what you say, you can still say it without risking fines and even jail time. Every person has the same right to say what they are feeling, regardless of how wealthy or improvised they are.
Con:
Potential harm may come from extremist groups that abuse the freedom of speech to protect their right to say incredibly slanderous, hurtful and mean-spirited things to individuals or other groups. Thus, their right to upset others is protected, even though their message does not provide a benefit to others.
