    Key Terms

    Civil liability(as used in law and free speech discussions)

    Meaningful communicative opportunity(as used in discussions of free speech rights)
    A real chance for someone to share their message with other people and actually be heard and understood.
    Prior censorship(as used in discussions of free speech and government control)
    When a government or authority blocks or prevents speech before it's ever published or spoken—stopping the message before anyone can hear it.
    state intervention(as used in political philosophy)
    When a government uses its power to control or regulate what people do or say. It means the government stepping in to enforce rules.
