Many Americans say we don't have free speech here in Europe. Does that mean I can only form a "low-information" opinion? I'm curious.

- PredictorY 8y agoSince you brought this up: Do you agree that Europeans don't have free speech?
- amaccuish 8y agoYepp, and it's not a problem IMHO. Being from Europe, I tend to disagree with the american form of free speech, as I believe meaningful free speech is precious, and we shouldn't allow some right wing extremists to take advantage and ruin it by using it as an excuse for hateful language that contributes precisely nothing to political debate.
