but some opinions are crimes

No. The US does not criminalize thought, and doing so would be tyranny.

you should not use it to badmouth the US

Also No. The very purpose of freedom of speech and the press is to maintain channels for criticism and change.

What is your purpose in this conversation? Have you ever lived in the US?


I did of course

Did you ever lived outside of it?

Not as an occupant of course, because that's what usually Americans living abroad do

The point is to prove that "freedom of speech" said by American corporations is ridiculous and nobody should believe it, on the contrary, everybody should start to worry


If you're sincere, you are definitely acting on incomplete information with regard to what America and Americans are actually like, and missing the point that it's individuals who need to have the freedom to speak, not corporations. If you're here with an agenda, well, whatever you're doing isn't making the world better.


Individuals will retain the freedom to speak even if we shutdown social networks.

That's the point you are missing.

> whatever you're doing isn't making the world better.

Imagine what a nation founded to avoid taxation and that became a superpower by securing resources in half of the World by starting wars or supporting dictators that committed genocides is doing to make the World better...
