      It’s not unlimited in the US, either, despite what the fascists think.

        Ya, “Free Speech” as written in the constitution only covers congressional laws.

          Even in the context of the US First Amendment, which makes it so that the government cannot abridge your right to free speech, it’s not unlimited. Think “Yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, when there’s no fire,” or libel/slander, or terroristic threats, or, I dunno, witness tampering.

          There’s lots of speech which must yield to other rights and protections.
