✓Academic and journalistic expression
✓Artistic expression and peaceful protest
✓Offensive and objectionable opinions
✓Satire, parody, and quotation

Strict Limitations

✗Direct incitement to violence
✗Serious threats of physical harm
✗Repeated, targeted harassment of individuals
✗Deliberate or reckless defamation
✗Fraud and dishonest trading
✗Face-to-face intimidation of an identified person
