Threat to Saudi Media Freedom | Crossroads Arabia: "‘Insulting and defamatory’ articles about individuals or government officials are banned.

Where is the line between ‘insulted’ and ‘hurt feelings’? If ‘insult’ is to be criminalized, then it needs to be very closely defined in a manner that avoids subjective judgment."
