Social Dimensions of Law and Justice
1. In the case of H v W, Judge Nigel Willis said, "...The law has to take into account
changing realities not only technologically but also socially, or else it will lose credibility in
the eyes of the people. Without credibility, law loses legitimacy. If law loses legitimacy, it
loses acceptance. If it loses acceptance, it loses obedience. It is imperative that the courts
respond appropriately to changing times, acting cautiously and with wisdom. The impact of
social media on the constitutional right to freedom of expression is significant. On one
hand, social media provides a platform for individuals to express their opinions and ideas
freely, often reaching a wide audience. This can enhance and promote the exercise of the
right to freedom of expression.
On the other hand, social media also presents challenges to the exercise of this right. The
rapid sharing and spread of information on social media can lead to the dissemination of
false or misleading information, hate speech, and the incitement of violence. This can
potentially lead to restrictions on freedom of expression in order to protect individuals and
society from harm.
The courts and lawmakers must navigate these complexities and respond appropriately to
changing realities, as Judge Nigel Willis stated, in order to uphold the legitimacy and
acceptance of the constitutional right to freedom of expression in the context of social
media. It is important to find a balance between allowing for the free exchange of ideas
and ensuring that harmful speech is properly addressed.
