There are conflicting rights and the US does not have total free speach, for instance issues such as defamation,incitement, incitement to riot or imminent lawless action, fighting words, fraud, speech covered by copyright, and speech integral to criminal conduct are all subject to legal action in the US, whilst confidentiality still applies under US Law, as does Data Protection Law. Whilst laws relating to hate crime also exist in the US.

The UK adheres to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights regarding Freedom of Exression, as do 47 European Countries.
