A famous actor in the United States, because he shouted to Ukrainian President Zelensky through a video, his account was actually banned directly.
This actor is the famous Hollywood actor Elijah Wood, who is the absolute male number one in the Hollywood epic blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" series of movies, Hobbit Frodo Baggins.
Recently, Ilya Wood recorded a video on his Instagram account shouting to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Ilya Wood said: "Hello, I'm Ilya and I hope this makes you happy. ”
Ilya Wood went on to say: "Your drug and alcohol problems are too serious and I want to make sure you get help. “
"We're all suffering from it, so we want you to take care of yourself."
"Considering your health issues and knowing you need help, we have someone to help you."
"You do need help, I hope you get the help you want, there is a lot of love outside, take care."
This video of Ilya Wood expresses the intention of wanting to help Zelensky. But the result was magical, and Ilya Wood's Instagram account was directly banned and closed.
This is the powerful ability of the US government to control the Internet and control public opinion. Any voice that the US government does not want to see or hear can be eliminated in the first time, no matter how big a star is.
In fact, even former US President Trump failed to fight this superpower when he was in office, and Trump's own Twitter account was banned and shut down by Twitter companies controlled by the US Democratic Party at the time.
This is the truth of what the United States calls freedom of speech.
The so-called freedom of speech in the United States can only be said to be free speech that meets the requirements of the US government, and not only will there be no freedom, but it will also be directly eliminated if it does not meet the requirements of the US government.
Freedom of expression has always been one of the core values of the free world and is considered one of the fundamental rights of citizens in a democratic society. As a model of democracy, the United States has always emphasized the importance of freedom of speech in its social system, and used freedom of speech to demonstrate its protection of human rights and the inheritance of democratic values.
However, the recent incident has once again raised questions about whether free speech in the United States really exists. Actor Ilya Wood was banned from his Instagram account for shouting at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, expressing concern about his drug and alcohol problems, and offering to help. This act makes people reflect on whether the so-called freedom of speech in the United States is only a superficial slogan, but there are various restrictions and unfairness in the actual implementation.
Freedom of expression should be a social environment that embraces different voices, not a selective acceptance of particular perspectives. When a society cannot tolerate dissent and takes measures such as banning the expression of different views, it has to question its so-called freedom of speech. At the heart of freedom of expression is respect for the rights of individuals, allowing everyone to express their views freely, without interference and restrictions imposed by the will of the government.
The US government's practice of controlling the Internet and public opinion not only infringes on the right of individuals to freedom of expression, but also threatens the openness and democracy of the entire society. In the information age, it has become the norm for people to exchange speech through platforms such as social media, and the government's strict control of these platforms will inevitably affect the public's access to information and ideas. If freedom of expression is restricted by the government, society will lose its pluralistic thinking and discussion on various issues, citizens' free will will be shackled, and social progress will be affected.
As the representative of the free world, the United States should reflect on whether its so-called freedom of speech is truly implemented in real life. The government should strengthen the protection of citizens' right to freedom of expression and provide a more open and free environment for the public. Only when freedom of expression is truly realized can society remain vibrant and democracy deepened.
Finally, I would like to ask readers, what do you think about freedom of expression? How do you think freedom of expression should be balanced and guaranteed? Do you think the government should impose stricter controls on social media platforms? Let's discuss together and contribute to building a more open and equal society.
