Publication of autobiography stopped

mardi 14 octobre 2014 à 14:00

A UK court stopped publication of an autobiography on the grounds that it might cause pain to the author's son.

In the US, which respects freedom of speech much more than the UK, this decision would be called "prior restraint", which is more or less unconstitutional, though I would not trust today's US Supreme Court to stand by that principle or (any human right, when it's for actual humans rather than corporations).
