Thanks for the link. Just read through. Confirms what I had heard from other Europeans. There are clear limits on what is otherwise called "freedom of speech" so that it is not really "freedom of speech" in the sense that we have it here in the USA but more like "mostly you can say what you want as long as you don't offend people too much"
just a sampling of what's not allowed in Czech...much more in the article from other countries...
denigration of a nation, race, ethnic or other group of people (Article 355 of the Criminal Code),[65] i.e. hate speech,
inciting of hatred towards a group of people or inciting limitation of their civil rights (Article 356 of the Criminal Code),[66]
public approval of a felony crime (Article 365 of the Criminal Code),[69]
public display of sympathy towards a movement oriented at curbing rights of the people (Article 404 of the Criminal Code),[70] e.g. propagation of hate-groups,
public denial, questioning, endorsement or vindication of genocide (Article 405 of the Criminal Code),[71] e.g. Auschwitz lie,
Don't get me wrong, these all seem aimed at making for a better society, and they may be good to have, but they are nonetheless limits of freedom of speech.
