Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Commercial speech and offensive speech are not considered to be fully protected under the First Amendment. While some types of commercial speech (such as advertising) are protected, they can still be subject to regulation. Similarly, offensive speech (such as hate speech) may be restricted or punished according to certain circumstances, such as when it constitutes a true threat or incites imminent lawless action.
