@Weez The Soviet Union also had a constitution that supported Free Speech, Would you say that they actually had it?
Be me in alternate North Korea, I get killed because of my culture I grow up forced to work, I can’t have a private life or a relationship without governmental permission. But I’m free because I have free speech
Arguably yes.
They follow the same style as the US does.
It is a Constitution that is not implemented
Speech which threaten the state are banned in both countries.
define "threaten the state"
We are given free speech yet if you make a joke the Government doesn't like you will be jailed
Not very free
Same applies in America.
Read the UK's hate speech law, it's the vaguest shit I've ever seen
When has the US arrested someone over a joke?
🙂
Ever?
Threats of violence?
Even if it were a joke.
Arrested.
Terror jokes. Arrested.
Murica free
BRUH
In the UK they were convicted
It's detention not conviction
Join an 'extremist' group and you're on a watchlist.
Big difference
Doesn't sound free.
They aren't stopping you
Freer then the UK
“I will murder your wife and fucking children with a pen knife” you said?
“Yeah lmao it was a joke let me go”
Which would
They're restricting your ability to leave the country.
While you're on those watch lists.
The UK would just arrest you for hate speech
So free!
I would prefer the US
It freer then the UK
"There were 16,000[1] names on the list in 2011, 21,000 in 2012, and 47,000 in 2013. "
And it's growing?!
Not completely Free but Freer!
