How is that not true? Yes you can say fuck trump or fuck biden(why are you self censoring yourself on the internet btw), but you can't say "I have a gun and I'm going to shoot you" to a police officer - you will be arrested and put in prison even if you were "just saying things". Your freedom of speech isn't absolute. For other examples - several states made it illegal for journalists to report on violations on farms, to protect their own industries.

>>That’s not the case in France for example.

I'm pretty sure you can say fuck trump or fuck biden in France and nothing would happen to you, in public or otherwise.

you picked a poor example though, insulting the French head of state hasn't been a crime for a decade now:

Well go on and insult an EU country leader here. :)

Are you.....under the impression that French laws apply in all of EU or something?

It’s actually how the EU mostly work. Country members do still most of law and merge upstream. GDPR for example originated from the CNIL which is French. And contain things that restrict freedom of speech at an EU level. [1]

No it isn't. Not in the slightest sense, I have no idea where you're getting your info from, that's literally not how the EU lawmaking works.

That's news to me. Got a citation or example?

not true since long time ago

also: most EU countries have laws that protect public speech and especially people's representatives from being prosecuted for expressing their opinions.
