Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The freedom of speech can be restricted if the speech presents a clear and present danger, meaning that it presents an immediate threat to public safety or the well-being of others. Other restrictions to free speech include obscenity, defamation, incitement to violence, and false advertising. While advocating for changes to the law or opposing political power may be unpopular or controversial, it is not inherently restricted by the First Amendment. Similarly, while pornography may be subject to regulation, it is not universally prohibited in all forms of speech.
