Not true. Germany does in fact have a constitutional right to free speech.
>Freedom of expression is granted by Article 5 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany, which also states that there is no censorship and freedom of expression that may be limited by law.
The US is in fact the only developed country that has no laws banning hate speech, including no legal recourse for outright lies like Holocaust denial.
- strictnein 10y ago"Free speech, except..." isn't free speech, no matter how well-intentioned it may be.
- cronjobber 10y ago> Germany does in fact have a constitutional right to free speech. Not in a way that would make sense as "free speech" to an American. It's probably more accurately parsed as freedom of the press.
