Original Note:
UK speech protections (ECHR): are limited by public safety, defamation, hate speech (Public Order Act 1986), obscenity, national security (Terrorism Act 2006), and contempt of court. The UK has many exceptions, so its speech isn't as "free" as in the US by comparison. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/42/contents https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2013/26/contents/enacted https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/contents https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/7-8/66/contents https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/11/contents https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/49/contents
