That is indeed very much true. Though there are many attempts to attack Freedom of Speech in the US as well, so not sure how long it lasts.

At least some western european nations have anti-hate speech laws, though I consider a country to have "free speech" if individuals are free to criticize the government. What are you referring to?

No modern democracy has Singapore-type restrictions on speech, unless you take the loosest possible definition of democracy (ie one expansive enough to encompass Singapore).
