> You go to jail because what you said is actually a crime to say

Sounds like the US. Just look at all these people who went to jail for crimes related to illegal numbers (eg. piracy). Or people like Mildred Gillars. Or the various whistleblowers.

Complete nonsense. If you voluntarily agree to not leak secrets and do so anyway its not protected under free speech. You also dont get jailed for speech but for the act of breaching some agreement or other law.

Of course it is. Anyway, I mentioned more cases where there is no voluntarily agreement.

You can claim that for everyone who got jailed for speech.

Name the case. The burden of proof lies with you if you clame people get jailed for speech.

I posted a case from Germany. So if you have one from the US post it. No one in the thread could post one so far.
