>At least in the UK the government allowed people to express themselves

This isn't really true. You can get arrested for "offensive" social media posts in the UK.

Never heard of a case where someone has been arrested for saying anything that isn't aimed at causing vioelnce. The UK government _do_ allow a lot of open debate on political topics (and every other type of topic) as long as it doesn't threaten peoples health.

What's funny is that the original youtube video is still up.

A couple was arrested for simply burning some religious books a while ago.
