Freedom of speech is guaranteed to every person by international agreements concern- ing the protection of human rights and by national constitutions. Freedom of expression is regarded as one of the pillars of democracy, the determinant of a wide sphere of hu- man freedom.

The answer to these questions seems to be justified especially in the age of Internet – the instrument offering the pos- sibility of unrestricted flow of information.
