Free speech loses First Amendment protection when it incites imminent lawless action, constitutes true threats, involves obscenity, or includes defamation. Additionally, speech that violates specific laws, such as those against child pornography or fighting words, is also unprotected. The Supreme Court has established these exceptions to balance free expression with public safety and individual rights.
