In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob tackles the debate surrounding freedom of speech, a topic he’s kept quiet about for over 15 years! Should we fight for our right to speak and say what we want regardless of the consequences? Or should we be held more accountable for defamation, bullying and criticism? Join the discussion as Rob weighs in on the effects of social media, how you can harm your business and your brand by sharing your opinion and the mindset you need to evolve in a world filled with critics, haters and trolls.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Freedom of speech is having the right and the freedom to express. The freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference and regardless of frontiers. We’re banning people on social media platforms just because we don’t agree with their opinions and their concepts. It’s every individual’s right to share their opinion in any way they wish but is it too easy for business owners to harm their brand, their business and their reputation by sharing their views on social media. If we limit freedom of speech are main rights are being taken away from us but at what point should there be accountability? Should we be allowed to bully, defame and troll others on social media without any consequences? The world would be a better place if we could disagree with people without judging them and have differing opinions without one being right and one being wrong. It’s important to surround yourself with people that challenge you and open your mind up to new ideas and new ways of thinking. This will help you to evolve.   BEST MOMENTS “Social media is for discussion and should not be used for bullying and trolling.” “Could you argue that social media cannot sensor your opinion and your posts? Is your freedom of speech being affected when people are banned from social media platforms” “Never wrestle with a pig in shit. You both get covered in shit but the pig likes it” “Should we really have freedom of speech? Is it our constitutional right? Or should we be held more accountable to the things we say?” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
