===Internet censorship and surveillance===
{{Further |Internet censorship in Denmark}}

As a territory of the [[Kingdom of Denmark]], Greenland has a democratically elected [[home-rule]] government whose powers may encompass all matters except foreign and national security affairs, police services, and monetary matters. Greenlanders have the same rights throughout the kingdom as other citizens.<ref name=USDOS-Denmark-2012>[https://2009-2017.state.gov/j/drl/rls/hrrpt/humanrightsreport/index.htm?year=2012&dlid=204279 "Denmark"], ''Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012'', Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, U.S. Department of State, 22 March 2013. Retrieved 8 January 2014.</ref>

The Danish government places no restrictions on access to the Internet and there are no credible reports that [[e-mail]] or Internet [[chat rooms]] are monitored without appropriate legal authority. Authorities continue to employ an Internet filter designed to block [[child pornography]]. In no known cases did the filter affect legitimate sites. The [[Constitution of Denmark|Danish Constitution]] provides for [[freedom of speech]] and [[Freedom of the press|press]] with some limitations such as cases involving child pornography, [[libel]], [[blasphemy]], [[hate speech]], and [[racism]], and the government generally respects these rights in practice.<ref name=USDOS-Denmark-2012/>
