It's the 1980s, a Russian and an American are talking. The American says:

"In my country, we can have freedom of speech. I can stand outside the White House and shout that the president is an idiot, and nobody can stop me".

"So what," replies the Russian, "In Russia I can also shout that the president of America is an idiot and nobody will stop me".

This summer would suggest that the president can bring in federal agents to stop you. Especially if he wants to give a preess conference at your church

but what matters is free speech... if we can no longer have it hosted in the US for the Internet, it doesn't really matter where the free speech is hosted (also, maybe we can host free speech for Russia in the US?).
