That's a very black and white view of ways of restricting speech. Aside from the US most democracies have some sort of limits to free speech and not all of them have turned into autocracies.
To counter your argument, absolute freedom of speech allows whoever controls the media to create narratives and manipulate public opinion without consequences
- EnigmaFlare 2y agoWhat's wrong with manipulating public opinion? People aren't complete idiots and are still responsible for their own beliefs and how they vote. They'll only believe lies that they want to believe. The Soviet Union used to control all the media and its people famously didn't believe what it told them.
