For what reason can freedom of expression be limited?

In the exam (French)

Pour quel motif peut-on limiter la liberté d'expression ?

  1. aTo prevent calls for hatred or violencePour empêcher les appels à la haine ou à la violenceCorrect answer
  2. bTo prevent criticism of the GovernmentPour empêcher de critiquer le Gouvernement
  3. cTo prevent criticism of a religionPour empêcher de critiquer une religion
  4. dTo forbid speaking a foreign language in publicPour interdire de parler une langue étrangère en public

Why?

Freedom of expression can be limited by law to protect others: calls for hatred or violence, insult and defamation are punished. On the other hand, you have the right to criticise the Government or a religion: blasphemy is not an offence in France.
