"protective notice"

Hello,
could someone please explain to me what a "protective notice" is? Maybe (hoping against hope) there is even someone who knows what the correct German term for this would be?
Thanks in advance Christian

Instead they demand freedom of speech as a compensation." -Kierkegaard
