After examining both articles, it can be seen that the two authors have similar interests. Since both authors have discussed how the principles of freedom of speech are clear and basic for everyone to use, but can be either used in a way to put others down or to silence them. In addition, while free speech is something that both authors believe should be used to the degree in which the individual wishes to be used, but they both described examples of which either they or someone else has experienced, whether it may be the social pressures of what the consequences are or the large bias against an industry and the ease for others to attack those who work in such.
