Freedom of speech as a concept is relatively simple, Wikipedia has pretty good definition, “Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.” > The definition is a gigantic pile of judicial precedents, which lawyers spend years learning. The thing is, no country has 100% unfettered freedom of speech. Judicial precedents are all about what is and isn’t an exception to freedom of speech under US law - i.e. what they debate about is “freedom of speech”, they are debating about whether X falls under the exceptions that the country has chosen.
