1. Why is freedom of speech important?
People can share ideas and opinions, even those that are critical of the government, without fear of punishment or other negative consequences because the government cannot censor ideas that it disagrees with.
2.What limits are placed on Freedom of Expression?
Limitations on free speech can take many different forms, such as provisions in the Criminal Code and the Human Rights Act that prohibit hate speech, local ordinances that control protest signs and gathering places, civil defamation (libel) lawsuits, and restrictions on press freedoms.

5. Although Peru is not in a particularly bad situation with respect to freedom of expression, it is crucial to balance media ownership across the nation's different socioeconomic sectors in order to allow the population to hear other voices and other opinions and to permit the creation of a media channel without depending on the financial resources of the stakeholders.
