A citizen's article in a newspaper was prohibited under a law that bans hate speech. The law is clearly written, aims to protect public order, and the restriction on the article was narrowly tailored. Under the ‘reasonable limits' clause, which requires that a restriction on freedom of expression be (i) prescribed by law, (ii) pursue a legitimate aim, (iii) be necessary in a democratic society, and (iv) be proportionate, determine whether the restriction is permissible.

Answer Options

A. The restriction is invalid because the law is not sufficiently clear, violating the prescribed‑by‑law criterion.
Correct Answer B. The restriction is permissible because it satisfies all four criteria of the reasonable limits clause.
C. The restriction is not permissible because it does not meet the necessity requirement of the reasonable limits clause.
D. The restriction is permissible only if it serves a public health objective, which is not the case here.
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
The restriction is permissible because it satisfies all four criteria of the reasonable limits clause.
