Sheesh! the ECHR's phrasing is awful. ..The protection of morals? I agree though. They haven't. Even in countries with a high regard for free speech, there are exceptions.

You can have a great firewall. China does. It's doing OK. Why can't Turkey? Why can't India? Why can't the EU? ^thanks for posting, btw.

I wish they had left these rights out, and only included rights that they can actually agree on.
