Free Speech

This category is for sites about free speech as a human right, as well as sites documenting suppression of that right by governments, and webpages about the controversies on what legal restraints on free speech are necessary.

It is NOT for sites advocating a viewpoint on one's pet socio-political issues. Please conduct a search for the best category for your site.

Websites submitted here must be human rights - free speech related and in
English. Sites in other languages should be submitted to the
appropriate World subcategory.
