I guess the US is the only country which guarantees free speech, because it's in their constitution. France? Sadly, this country has been on a downward slope for many years. Putting restrictions on free speech looks a minor event, considering how bad France has become.

The POF thinks, he is some kind of king, so all people of france, because he was elected by at best a majority must worship him like past phirao... (and if it's not him, it's his entourage that will persuade him).

Sure would be nice to see the narrative of the good Islam speaking out against the small and extremist bad being the leading indicator in the media across the world today. Oh, and gun rights would be helpful in France and other areas that leave innocent people hanging out to dry as the criminals have their way on the front end and the police clean up the mess on the flip side. Call 911 and die. Pack a 1911 and stay alive or at least have a better chance.

same thing with stand your ground laws.

I guess at the end of the day, there's at least an acceptable amount of free speech in France. Much more than in North Korea where going to jail for such a violation isn't just a vacation but a hellish time away from family that may never end. You'd think in a socialist paradise like France, they would place a premium on the basic human right of freedom of speech. Of course, unpopular speech always is the lynch pin to infringe on one's rights which should be free from govt restrictions. A right is a moral principle defining and sanctioning man's freedom of action in a social context; a privilege is different and that's what we're witnessing here in most countries.

Yeah, I think it's mainly to do with Nazi symbols though I didn't know there was hate speech laws as well.

You seem unaware that I am an actual Anarchist, even democratic wise I don't think these governments truly represent the people, only direct democracy would really be capable of that because if a politician decides to act on their own they can be put in their place. Also, in regards to submitting to the majority, why? If your intentions are peaceful, then living differently from the majority shouldn't be a problem, but with current western democracy we actually have mob rule more than anything where it's voting blocs that win the day rather than an actual majority.

Freedom of speech must be absolute
absolute freedom often leads to chaos and anarchy...
The logic of a fascist.
why only fascist? democracy means absolutely freedom? no, you must submit to the majority of voters. socialism means absolutely freedom? No, government controls most of "freedoms". etc.

Freedom of speech must be absolute, if you believe anything else, you are a hypocrite and give credibility to the very people you claim to fight the anti-semitic guy that got arrested probably got several thousand more people behind him because of his arrest, so good job, well done, everyone can pat themselves on the back for becoming a bunch of fascists.

Yeh arresting the comedian guy was an absolute joke. I couldn't believe the hypocrisy. Everyone has been screaming about free speech and how it's their right, and then as soon as someone says something they don't like they're all you can't say that then they arrest him. Freedom of speech has to work both ways otherwise its just another form of oppression to those who say thing you don't like.

The lack of freedom in the world in general has been increasing. Very few countries have their own foreign policy!
The USA tell countries what to do and they all jump! So this issue in France was born in USA!!
