Threat to Saudi Media Freedom | Crossroads Arabia: "‘Insulting and defamatory’ articles about individuals or government officials are banned. I’ve no problem with ‘defamatory’; false statements that paint someone in a bad light should be sanctionable. But who is to decide what is ‘insulting’? 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."
