Freedom of speech, in the strong form that is most familiar in the US, is largely not a thing in other countries.

Except that this is a wholly American issue - a draconian legal situation created to capitalise intellectual property to the detriment of personal freedoms, exported by American precedent and extra-territorial corporate enforcement of media going back to '76 and then the CTEA.

Even in the US freedom of speech 'in the strong form' only exists until someone DMCA strikes for fair use with no recourse, or until a legal or federal agency is leveraged against you SLAPP style.

Oh yeah, because the US freedom of speech amendment is so effective right now.

We can see the freedom in USA madia when they talk about about Epstein and its friends.
