The US has always had those limitations as well. It's just that many of my fellow Americans choose to interpret our constitution in a simplistic, childish, and frankly incorrect way. Our constitutional rights (including free speech) were never meant to be interpreted in a vacuum, irrespective of all other rights. Our courts have certainly never interpreted things that way. Our courts have always weighed each individual, constitutionally-mandated right against other rights.
