Free Speech Is a Political Tool, Not a Freedom of Expression

Free speech does not exist anywhere in absolute form. There is no absolute freedom to insult. We have defarmation laws, sedition laws, professional standards and journalistic standards about reporting about celebrities and politicians. In germany, denial of the hollo courses is prohibited by law. Public order act makes threatening, abusive or insulting words an offence. Azaramed was convicted just last year for grossly offensive communicationsh commented on facebook that british soldiers in afghanistan should die and go to hell. A muslem man was convicted just a few months ago for letters deemed deffensive, which he sent to families of dead australian soldiers under the above mentioned criminal code provision.
