> Only one country has the first amendment

Do you think other countries don't have freedom of speech or freedom of the press?

No other country I am aware of considers paid political ads or donations to political parties 'free speech'.

I am not an American, and to me this comes across as either absurdity or corruption.

I wonder about this point. The universal declaration of human rights even mentions this in article 19, but few countries seem to actually uphold that value.
