whatever restrictions there are, are not imposed by the government or law. There are industry standards. By freedom of speech I mean freedom from government interference.That what it means in the USA.

Aenigma,except for pornography which uses children, any "censorship" of films, etc. in the USA is imposed by the media industry, and not the government. Of course there are restrictions on pornography, which is far different than restrictions on political expression and opinion.

It is next to impossible for my American husband, to grasp any system that criminalizes the expression of ideas and thoughts and opinions. US constitution prohibits punishment for expression of thoughts and opinions. But he understands that many countries, Turkey included, have laws which criminalize certain expressions, and believes that with the passage of time these laws will wither away.

Lütfen: Me, the happy gardener inquires: Does Broccoli Rapini grow in Turkey?

Turkey has a law system, which has been wholly integrated with the continental European system. For instance, the Turkish civil law system has been modified by incorporating elements mainly of the Swiss Civil Code, the Code of Obligations and the German Commercial Code. The administrative law bears similarities with the French Counterpart and the penal code with the Italian Counterpart.
