4. What an outrageous contention by the government. By definition, any politician or state employee provides a service to the public and is at all times subject to open criticism by any member of the public who wishes to do so. Hands off our journos!

24. Did anyone hear human rights activists say something when President Macron, France, filed a complaint against Mr Michel Fiori for a poster depicting Macron as Hitler? Such laws exist throughout the whole of Europe (where even lèse-majesté laws exist). In France it is the general crime of insult punished with a fine since 2013 but before that insulting the President was punished with prison. In the Fiori case, the court has not followed the plaintiff, which means that comparing someone to Hitler is not an insult. Yet it is an insult. The court said among other things that the parodical intent of the poster was obvious; how strange when one knows that humorist Patrick Sébastien, when he mocked Jean-Marie Le Pen by singing, with a mask showing the latter's face, a song with ludicrous racist lyrics, was condemned for hate speech: parody was no excuse for the humorist. But the court also says that the poster "falls in the public debate of general interest," as a political message, and therefore is permissible. This has nothing to do with the fact that the content is insulting, that is, had the court only had the content in view the poster was punishable on its face. But the court thinks in different terms and let me use a fiction and talk like a court for a moment: "Insults aggrieve the feelings of individuals but our Constitution prevents us from taking heed of Mr Macron's feelings. Had Mr Macron wanted to spare his fragile feelings, he would have been advised not to look for the spotlight as a public figure. Politics is heated, major interests are at stake and with interest goes passion. People defend their interests and views passionately; therefore, a free public debate implies by constitutional necessity that politicians be less protected by law against speech than private persons. Mr Fiori, against whom Mr Macron filed a complaint for insult, is an honest citizen who respects his neighbors, but Mr Macron is not one of Mr Fiori's neighbors, all private persons, Mr Macron is a public figure whose decisions are one center of the public debate and he must expect an amount of scrutiny and speech, polemical and other, uncommon with that legitimately expected by private persons. His using the courts as if he were a private person is vile lawfare aimed at stifling political opposition."

31. It is odd the President Widodo is considered a moderate and a man of the people. But the legislature has passed laws that some would considered illiberal democracy in action.
