Europe doesn’t have free speech because -
> As an European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.

Why?
Having actual free speech would solve that (and a lot of other problems).

Why?
Because if you have a website you are legally liable for what someone else posts if you don't remove it within 24 hours of a report, which makes running a social network impractical. (NetzDG, KoPl-G, Digital Services Act (DSA), etc) Having actual free speech would solve that (and a lot of other problems).

If the gov't will be in charge of it then it will be shit as all government services are in general. If there is no profit in it for someone the platform won't improve. It's the classic "the capitalist owns a restaurant vs the people own a restaurant, but which has better food".
Governments screw a lot of things up. So do private companies. Arguing about which is better in the abstract is like arguing whether even or odd numbers are “better”: only possible for tribalists.

In most EU countries, you can’t publicly insult the country politicians.
