Free speech is not unrestricted speech, nor freedom from consequences. The market is also not free when it’s uncontrolled, that would just result in blatant manipulation.

And hate speech is a serious crime, not sure why you believe otherwise. In many aspects, most EU countries have much freer speech than the US.



Blasphemy against Muhammad is a serious crime in some countries too. Doesn't mean that everyone has to share this opinion.

I personally don't considered hate speech to be worthy of criminalization, much less as a "serious" crime.

What I consider to be serious crime is censorship, though.


Can you name two EU countries that have "better" free speach than the US and articulate why you think that?
