What happened to freedom of speech?

EU != USA.
Do they even have something akin to Miranda rights?

I got curious and found Article 10 of the ECHR which refers to their version of freedom of speech and it does have restrictions based on the following:

  • interests of national security
  • territorial integrity or public safety
  • prevention of disorder or crime
  • protection of health or morals
  • protection of the reputation or the rights of others
  • preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence
  • maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary

I could see how that could be misused by any politicians to do as they please. But we have the same problems in the USA so no suprise there.
