There's a thread on this forum comparing Europe to the old Soviet Union.

Very fitting.

Hmmm.

Well, our ally Teresa May seems to be leaning in that direction as well, so I don't think either the left or the right has a monopoly on this - Theresa May: Internet must be regulated to prevent terrorism - Jun. 4, 2017

But I do agree with you that neither Switzerland nor Great Britain has anything like our 1st amendment.

Kidding right... May is in comparison to Bernie Sanders, if she were to run for office here.

Yea.... Europe takes a different stance on hate speech than the US and doesn't feel like it's protected.
