Freedom of speech in the creative industry

Are creative agencies are being too careful in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo atrocities in Paris? I don’t think so, but then I’m not sure if they need to be do they? Although freedom of speech is critical, so too is the need to self–edit and be aware of appropriateness! More so with illustrators and artistic types, was felt the need to step up the ownership of freedom of speech which actually presented itself as fighting back. I’m all for this. But not to the detriment of personal safety!

Therefore I guess the point I’m trying to make is that knowing where and when to exercise your right to freedom of speech and creativity is as much of a gift, as actually being able to assert that freedom and creativity!
