The French (and I'd say Europe in general) have a very different view on what "free speech" entails compared to the USA.

- rsheridan6 15y agoEither you're allowed to say things or you aren't. There's no room for relativism here.
- alextgordon 15y agoThere is no country which allows completely unrestricted speech. In America, the common example is "shouting fire in a crowded theatre". All countries define a subset of speech to be harmful in certain contexts. Some countries are more or less restrictive in defining that subset, but there is absolutely a continuum.
