Freedom of speech means that you can say whatever you want to say and anyone else cans say whatever they want to. Freedom of information means that all non classified information is available to the public. Very, very, very diffrerent. No similarities whatsoever.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_information
but wiki says its part of freedom of speech, many countries agree. So what does it mean?
I can post snuff film, terrorist propaganda and violent extremist content? Because information should be free regardless of nature or potential harm?

Thats where the ammendments kinda break down, and become gray areas

As far as I know, you still get arrested and jailed if hosting or post these things, even if you didnt produce the contents or have any affiliation to the creators.

Freedom of speech is the right to speak about what you don't know and freedom of information is the right to know why you're wrong

Simply put: Speech is constitutionally protected and God given; information is legislation and granted through privilege philosophy.

Freedom of speech is the right to speak, write or otherwise share your views and thought without suppression. As in i can say the government sucks and won't get jailed. (Side note people seem to think freedom of speech is the right to speak without repercussion. You have the freedom to call someone a racial slur, but don't expect them not to punch you)
Freedom of information, is the right to know. So if the government passes a law you have a right to know what it is and see it. If a company makes a major move and is public you have a right to know. Etc..
In short Freedom to express yourself versus a right to know what's happening to you

Curious, can sharing info on snuff film, terrorist propaganda, pipe bomb making for dummies and other harmful content be considered under freedom of information?

Hmm, that turns into some gray areas.
There are plenty of how to's online that relate to illegal things that are labeled as educational only. So while it may be legal to know or share don't think you won't be paid attention to if you're doing it
Some things like terrorist propoganda usually are inviting violence or actively trying to recruit. So while you can share some this is where i think it gets grey, because if someone acts on it you could be charged for inciting violence

potential for harm is vague and arbitrary, how can anyone tell for sure? This is why Youtube is about to ban doctors for talking about ivermectin for covid. lol

Yeah I'm definitely not a lawyer so i dont know where the line is.

Freedom of saying what the hell I want vs filtering the truth from me.

So should it be legal to share information like snuff film, terrorist propaganda, how to make pipe bombs for kids and other harmful contents? I thought those are still illegal to share?
