And who decides this? In the US we have actual freedom of speech. You can say or do any stupid thing you want, but you will be held accountable for it by society. Unlike in Germany, I can hold a neo-nazi rally and post it on online. Responsibility becomes a factor when my employer fires me and I can't find a new job.The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is quite clear about freedom of speech.
Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.
