The U.S. recognizes 17 exclusions to freedom of speech.
The German law recognizes a concept called "streitbare Demokratie" (self-defence of Democracy) that puts restrictions to undemocratic movements. It's a legal solution to Popper's paradox of tolerance.
Freedom of speech in liberal democracies can be summarized as follows:
1. There is general freedom of speech and expression.
2. Any exception must be codified in the law.
