Well, free speech is protected across Europe primarily through the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), an international treaty managed by the Council of Europe.
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union also enshrines the right to freedom of expression, applying to EU member states when they are implementing EU law. Even Italian Constitution specifically protects the right to freedom of expression. It states:
- everyone has the right to freely express their thoughts by word, in writing, and by any other means of communication.
- the press may not be subjected to any authorization or censorship.
However, like in many other democracies, freedom of speech is also subject to certain limitations like protecting national security, public safety, etc. The problem is…who decides where the border is?
