> EU citizens have no freedom of speech

Although this is not a EU thing, thus varies country by country, that’s something I’m not happy about the European approach to freedom of speech.

It’s usually the Nazi stuff and defamation that is not allowed, so it doesn’t affect most people but still is in principle I would prefer the absolute free speech. The American approach is better on this.

It is not if you're the victim of the so called "freedom of speech" of others and can't do anything about it... The US also doesn't have absolute freedom of speech, just a different set of rules that makes them believe they do.
