However, in many cases, the courts end up as arbiters when some groups face because of content in a country without legal problems, but in others. Content may be offensive or obscene, but it is not necessarily illegal.

Some jurisdictions limit some speech and explicitly prohibit the racism , the political subversion , promoting violence, sedition and the material that incites hatred and crime.
