72.3/100 Censorship
Rated 9 times View History

In general, freedom of speech is considered an integral United States value, as protected by the First Amendment to the United States constitution.

This freedom has caused controversy at times. For instance, it is legal to express certain forms of hate speech so long as one does not engage in the acts being described or urge others to commit illegal acts.

According to the Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index, the United States is currently in a tie for 36th in the world in terms of press freedom. Certain forms of speech, such as obscenity and defamation, are restricted in major media outlets by the government or by the industry on its own.
