Freedom of expression between controls and responsibility .. How do we achieve balance without chaos?

Alghad - 11/04
Amman- Freedom of opinion and expression is among the basic rights of any democratic society that seeks progress and prosperity. However, achieving a balance between it and the necessity of preserving societal stability remains a fundamental challenge. Since community security and trust in state institutions constitute a corner for social cohesion, there is a need to take care of controls that maintain the failure of this freedom to be chaotic. "Chaos in chaos" And the first of yesterday, the Minister of Governmental Communication, the government's spokesperson, Muhammad al -Momani, said that "any prejudice and incitement to state institutions and the security services and the army is something that affects every honorable Jordanian and we do not accept and reject it and distort the compass from our basic battle, which is the support of the Palestinian people in the injustice and aggression against the Israeli occupation." Al -Momani added: "Anything and any behaviors that will distort the compass from the advanced and brave Jordanian position towards the Palestinian issue," noting that "there is no interest for anyone except for those who lie in wait for this country and those who want more suffering for the Palestinian people." He pointed out in statements to the "Kingdom" channel that freedom of expression and freedom of opinion does not mean in any way to evoke chaos, but rather we must all submit to the rule of law and all part of the comprehensive Jordanian national efforts that aim to support the Palestinian people and stand beside them. He added, "We must all at this stage be wrapped around our country and our principles, because the strong Jordan is the best and most capable of dealing and supporting the Palestinian people in its confrontation with the great darkness it faces." New old discussion In turn, the CEO of the Center for Protection and Freedom of Journalists, colleague Nidal Mansour, said that the majority agree that freedom of expression and freedom of the media constitute two basic pillars for any society that seeks progress and development. Mansour added in his interview with "Tomorrow" that this consensus collides with a constant challenge, which is "How do we guarantee that this freedom does not turn into a platform to incite violence or spread hatred?" He pointed out that this discussion is not new, but rather new and old, which is renewed with every technological development or social transformation, so that the central question remains "How do we maintain freedom of expression as a tool for political development and enhance the steadfastness of the state, without being exploited in a way that threatens societal peace?" Mansour stressed that in the age of the Internet and social media platforms, every individual has a platform through which he expresses his views without prior control. He explained that this digital space gave everyone a voice, but it is not responsible for hate speech or incitement to violence; Rather, the individuals who use it are the ones who determine the nature of the content. He continued, "From here, the need for clear criteria emerges that define the line between freedom of expression and hate speech." He pointed out that these human rights standards such as the "Rabat Plan", which was set by the United Nations, which provides a balanced framework to deal with this issue, so that the controls do not turn into a tool to restrict the media or suppress votes. Protection of social fabric Mansour stressed that in Jordan, no one accepts chaos and no one wants to use freedom of expression to harm social fabric or violate the common denominators on which the community peace is based. He said, "But the most important question remains: How can we support this freedom without turning into a tool for incitement?", Noting that the answer lies in the flow of information, transparency and reliability, which limits the spread of rumors and enhances confidence between society and decision -makers. "The more an open dialogue, the more we can build a base of common understandings that surround despair and support societal awareness." Mansour stressed that this awareness is not my
