This answer is specific to the UK as the question appears to have been asked in that category.
In 1998, the United Kingdom incorporated the European Convention, and the guarantee of freedom of expression it contains in Article 10, into its domestic law under the Human Rights Act.
UK law imposes a number of limitations on freedom of speech not found in some other jurisdictions. For example, its laws recognise the crimes of incitement to racial hatred and incitement to religious hatred. The UK also has laws that protect people from defamation and libel. Also the UK 1959 Obscene Publications Act makes it illegal to publish material that tend to deprave and corrupt those reading or viewing it
