That's not a thing at all. Multiple signatories of the UN Declaration of Human Rights restrict freedom of speech.
In Germany, for instance, the penal code forbids denying the Holocaust and Nazi Propaganda, multiple other countries have laws that cover hate speech and racism, like Brazil does.
Unrestricted freedom of speech is very much a US thing, and even in the US there is a lot of case law for when there are restrictions.
