- ekianjo 8y agoThat is indeed very much true. Though there are many attempts to attack Freedom of Speech in the US as well, so not sure how long it lasts.
- rsynnott 8y agoNo modern democracy has Singapore-type restrictions on speech, unless you take the loosest possible definition of democracy (ie one expansive enough to encompass Singapore).
- paleogizmo 8y agoAt least some western european nations have anti-hate speech laws, though I consider a country to have "free speech" if individuals are free to criticize the government. What are you referring to?
