1638489344905281536 | @PaulivW @karynmaughan All rights need to be balanced against other rights. You cannot disregard the rights of others and their human dignity just because you are a journalist. Maybe stop with the self righteousness & respect the rights of even those who have done some wrong things. | 4 |
