Ograniczenia wolności wypowiedzi z uwagi na przesłankę „ochrony zdrowia”. Kilka uwag inspirowanych pandemią SARS-CoV-2 w Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej

Abstract

There is no question that “health protection” is the premise for the establishment of constitutional restrictions on rights and freedoms. It has been so far the subject of legal science only exceptionally and occasionally; mainly in the context of restrictions on the freedom of economic activity. It was only the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the Republic of Poland that brought a wider interest in this category, referring it also to the limitations of another fundamental freedom – freedom of expression. Considering the above, the analysis of legal limitations on the freedom of expression, imposed on the basis of the premise of health protection, seems to be by all means justified and purposeful.
