Original Note:
Unlike the US, the UK does not explicitly protect free speech within the law. From the JCHR, "Free speech is not an absolute right: it is right that there are limitations to ensure that it is not exercised in a way which causes harm to others." https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/freedom-of-speech-challenges-and-the-role-of-public-private-and-civil-society-sectors-in-upholding-rights/#:~:text=The%20Joint%20Committee%20on%20Human,speech%20should%20usually%20be%20allowed%E2%80%9D.
