How Religious or Nationalist Sentiments Impact Freedom Of Online Speeches
The governments and the policy makers try to be populists and want to suppress dissenting or alternative ideas, views or voices online. In Pakistan YouTube is banned for more than 2 years because it hosted the trailer of anti-Islam movie "Innocence of Muslims". The allegations it hurts the Sentiments of the Muslims. In Bangladesh 4 bloggers were arrested in 2013 and 2 Facebook users in a separate incident because they hurt sentiment of the Muslims. These threats are having an impact on the general bloggers on netizens who are resorting to self censorship. How do you defend the rights of the netizens to have an alternative voice in those regions.

Religious or nationalist sentiments can have a significant impact on freedom of online speeches. In some countries, religious or nationalist sentiments are used to justify censorship and restrictions on free speech, particularly if the speech is critical of the government or its policies. In other cases, religious or nationalist groups may use online platforms to spread hate speech or extremist ideologies, which can lead to greater restrictions on online speech. It is important to balance the right to free speech with the need to prevent the spread of harmful or dangerous ideas, while also being mindful of the potential impact on individuals' rights to express themselves freely. https://www.nexusiceland.org/
