Europe is not as free speech as you think
Europe is not that much of a free speech land as many people think.
When people think of Europe, many people think of freedom which includes free speech and free press.
That does not seem true in Europe.
Many types of speech is banned in many countries, and in some of countries it is illegal to insult someone with certain slurs.
Some politicians have been "investigated" by authority's for what they said, including someone in Poland and France and especially Germany.
In terms of Germany, showing support for nazi's are banned and could end up in 3 years in prison.
Now ofcourse it is bad to say something like that, but it is not something you imprison people for.
Some countries have installed travel ban for people who say "unacceptable" things, which includes UK.
In some countries people cannot say something which will either disterb some people or disterb the public.
Many things which is allowed in U.S is not allowed in many Europian countries.
