Free speech is protected by several articles of the Ardalian Constitutions of 1910 and 1983. Online speech is not protected specifically, though it falls into the category of free speech in general and therefore is protected. Criticism regarding the government is seen as crucial to ensure that Ardalia's democratic system stays intact. Defamation is partially legal, though the laws on it are unclear. Generally, it is legal if one is suspected of doing something. It is however not legal if there is no valid reason in most cases. Hate Speech is legal if it is not actual incitement to violence, which is illegal. Obscenity and sedition are only partially legal and it is generally advised not to make use of one's right to free speech in those cases. Blasphemy is partially illegal and while there is no official religion in Ardalia, the Catheric Church has an assumed status given its long-standing role in helping shape Ardalia.
