Is freedom of speech essential to a functioning society?

[klassicdoll]

The country's well-being and the maintenance of a stable government depend on the use of freedom of speech. The government, or some influential people, were the only voice most people paid attention to most of the time. The ability to openly express one's opinions and interact with others upholds the dignity and value of every member of society and enables each person to reach their greatest potential. Freedom of speech is therefore essential to a functioning society.

[codescript94]

Freedom of expression actually does not exist in a world where there are rulers, everything that is contrary to their ideas they take out of the way.

I think the freedom of speech is has really helped the government in my country. This is through the virtue of people pointing out their burning issues openly without the fear for anything.
