No. You get punished for saying certain things, anywhere

@sexyjigsaw Don't confuse freedom of speech with freedom from consequences, they're pretty different things. The letter isn't guaranteed, anywhere.
@Elessar of course we are [b]able[/b] to say anything we want. But freedom doesn't mean ability. I will not always be free after saying certain things, right? What is "freedom?"

If you mean my personal freedom of choice, then no doubt. However, laws and police anywhere and everywhere will punish and curtail your freedom when you cross specific lines. We surely can't call [i]that[/i] freedom.
@Elessar that's kinda the difference I see between freedom of speech and consequences
@sexyjigsaw I agree
