That very much depends on what government you are talking about. If you are living under Taliban authority, I wouldn't suggest speaking freely about how you are right and the Taliban is wrong. If you are living under a government that allows you to express your ideas, then it is dangerous for all of us if you do NOT speak out.
Frankly, there is always some danger when you have either a minority opinion, or oppose the opinion of those in power. The level of danger depends entirely on the question itself, as well as the government and society you are a part of.
"Danger" can mean possible consequences ranging from mild social embarrassment, to public humiliation, to social ostracism, to legal liability, to imprisonment.
The question really is too broad to answer well.

What does voltaire quote it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong mean?

What is the measure of right and wrong?
The measure of right and wrong is determined by the social consciousness of the society or the administrative authority governing the people. The people could decide collectively on matters that are considered appropriate (right) and inappropriate (wrong). The government could decide collaboratively or autocratically on matters deemed to be right and wrong. For example, there were more freedoms (rights) before 9/11 and more restrictions (wrongs) after. As societies evolve the concept of what is right and wrong changes as cravings and ideologies change. So right and wrong is measured by the evolution/development of a society or the decline/degeneration.
