    Do you actually have to be German to discuss things here? I think I'm only about an eighth.

    Anyways, what do you think about the differences between freedom of expression in your country, and W. Europe in general, and mine?

    I think hate speech is wrong. But in my country it's constitutionally protected.

    We have reasonable rights of free speech here in the UK, but with everyone blurting so much nonsense, it gets lost in the mire. :D
    The best example wes covid. Despite my pointing out that the daily death rate was not changing, no one listened.
    The only thing that is certain, is that you will die after you read this message. Hopefully you will not prove me wrong and die before you read it. :)

    I can call the president or the ex president no good sunsabitches and remain free. There are many countries where that could get me killed or incarcerated for years. I assume you folks over the pond have the same rights as what our 1st amendment covers here.

    Russia's got a bit of a problem with free speech as usual. North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and others have laws prohibiting free speech.

    In the US, corporations can censor whatever they like cause they're often more powerful than the government.
