Edit: I see you changed "If there's speech that you receive consequences for then it isn't free" to "If there's speech that you receive legal action for then it isn't free." I'm assuming you were just trying to disambiguate, but even by that more narrow definition freedom of speech is practically nonexistent.
I don't even know how people can say this stuff with a straight face. It's like saying "the US does not have healthcare" because of policy differences.
Oh my god, I'm so stealing that one. I've heard the "USA is the only country with freedom" argument way too many times.
It's not too difficult to do so, when there are examples of courts banning satirical poems of a foreign leader from being uttered: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38934027
Would something like this ever happen in the US? Could you provide an example?
