Free speech is a human right, and a cornerstone of any democratic
society. To enable communication, it is important that documents can
be opened and read by the people who are meant to receive them. In

them, to prevent a scenario where both censorship and self-censorship
degrade the ability of citizens to speak freely to each other, develop
new ideas, and drive the progress of our society.
