Are you suggesting there is no free speech in the EU?



Technically, there isn't...

But the US doesn't have it either, if you take it literally. Free speech is basically a misnomer. You can only have it in a society if you define the free speech to only apply to some generally agreed upon limits.

I.e inciting rebellion, lynchings or similar have no place in society, but is technically free speech in the literal sense
