The US does not guarantee these rights either.

“Free speech” is so ambiguously defined in the US that it’s effectively meaningless.

The US has had over two centuries of ambiguously defined “free speech” rights at many different levels, any of which could be taken away depending on what state you’re in, what federal circuit you’re in, or if you’re lucky, the Supreme Court or Congress.

So why do you consider yourself free when you do not know what defines free speech?

Quite frankly, anyone tuned into history beyond the basics ought to recall that even the initial leaders of the country did not believe in free speech — Thomas Jefferson had quite illiberal views on what a free press entailed.

For a modern example, providing abortion assistance is not free speech in the state of Texas.
