There are plenty of anti free speech laws and precedent in the US as well, you just have to look for them. Only if you accept the exact American definition of free speech, then of course other countries look bad by that standard.

And there's starving/malnourished kids in the US too. That doesn't mean the US is on par with some parts of Africa in that regard.

Generally speaking anti free speech laws in the US get struck down as soon as they start getting used to prosecute people.
