in the USA u can get jailtime for running onto an airplane and screaming "there's a bomb on this plane", in norway you get arrested for saying "men can't have babies".
i know people mock free speech in america because of fringe cases where its not absolute, but tbh 9/10 things people get convicted for when it comes to speech either go hand in hand with violence being perpetrated (screaming die f4g while beating a gay person) or something that leads to violence like inciting a riot.
It's no mockery. Freedom of speech in the US is not on clear footing when it comes to anti-discrimination laws or obscenity laws. I'm not talking about threats of violence. I'm talking about firing a gay person for being gay or being fined for refusing to bake cake for a trans person, just to give a couple examples.
