About This Trend
Meinungsfreiheit refers to the fundamental right of freedom of expression, a cornerstone of democracy that protects individuals from government punishment for voicing their opinions.
The term is trending due to ongoing discussions and concerns about its limitations and challenges, particularly in light of political actions by figures like Donald Trump, who has been accused of stifling free expression, and the case of Owen Chow Ka-shing, who faces severe penalties for advocating for freedom of expression and assembly.
