  7. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principle of free speech by allowing the speaker to express their views on public policy, but it could be argued that the integrity of the discourse could be improved with a more balanced approach that includes constructive suggestions.
