This is rich considering the UK just a few weeks ago jawboning Apple into making user data visible to the state.
They always seem to have imagined themselves to sit halfway across the Atlantic instead of a few miles off the French coast.
There is no free speech protection in any EU country.
DCMA is overlooked but it's hugely beneficial for US companies and means they're not liable for what their users publish/write on their site. In Europe you have to staff moderation teams to remove defamatory content etc or become liable to be sued yourself.
Plus, current goverment don't care about laws and people on top of it have history of retaliating against speech.
Also, a vote for the right is a vote to increase the gap between the poor and the wealthy, things will only get worse.
I don't vote "right" because the Democrats and the Republicans are both working against my interests.
And that distrust starts with this dishonest framing like ‘ukrain are stealing our dollars’. No they’re not, it’s your politicians that decided it was in the interest of the US to have wars: fight hitler (thank you!), fight communism in Vietnam, fund and later fight saddam, fund and later fight taliban.
But now you have a government that no longer thinks fighting Putin is useful, because they think the Russian style of government is the way to go, and not a threat to the US way of life. I doubt they’re right, the average Russian in the country leads a very poor life, and freedom is not a priority in Russia, if you disagree with government you will get thrown out of a window.
But your government is now following the government style of Russia, not following the rules of law, not following democratic, constitutional rules. Do you really want to be next Russia?
Now, that still doesn't obligate US to help. But it does mean that any military assistance that US does render to Ukraine can only improve its well-deserved "bad guy" image. If you truly believe that US did an evil thing by invading other countries, what better way to redeem yourself than to help someone who is being attacked by a bully just like you?
Polling disagrees with you here. Funding and helping Ukraine was massively popular in the US and transcended party lines until it became a wedge issue after the Republican primaries (what changed?).
I like free speech, but I would rather not die because an army of Russian trolls managed to replace Western democratic governments with Russian puppets.
Anyway, I tend to agree that "too much" freedom of speech is not the real issue here. Across Western world, neoliberal economic policy has failed to bring prosperity among large segments of population. Politicians have also ignored very real issues, such as failed humanitarian migration policies, DEI-policies which discriminate against particular "privileged" groups and so on. Trolls would have much lower success rate, and far right parties would be much smaller if these concerns had been taken seriously before by mainstream parties. People who are happy and optimistic about their lives and future rarely become extremists.
