Freedom of speech is not freedom to incite hate/violence or to distribute obscene content.
- ng12 8y agoObjectively it is. By definition if you make hate speech illegal you're limiting freedom of speech.
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoI don't know if there is any place on earth that has freedom of speech by that definition. It pretty much comes down to what types of speech are made illegal in each country.
- zapzupnz 8y agoFreedom of speech applies to not being oppressed for saying something in contradiction with the values of the current government. In no way does New Zealand's concept of freedom of speech, nor any other country's, give carte blanche to any message, there are always parameters. These parameters are defined by each country to assure the well-being and peace assured to its citizens and residents, so naturally hate speech isn't tolerated.
