Legally Yes, it is our right to have Freedom of Speech, but do other people always respect this, and conform to this right?

I am in the USA. We have freedom of speech. It is a right we enjoy here. However not everyone respects that right, but we deal with it the best we know how. No system is perfect. We are a people who will put our very life on the line so you, a citizen of this country to say what ever they want with out fear of being jailed or killed. I wish every one respected this right but unfortunately that is not the case.
Say what ever you want in China and see what happens. You will be jailed, or killed, or put to work in a slave camp for the rest of you life for saying something that the government does not agree with.

Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean people have to like or respect what you say.

Liberals think freedom of speech is only for them and any religion other than Christians. How terribly wrong they are, this country was founded on Christianity.

The U.S. has a lot of freedom in our speech and print. However the new hate crime laws sometimes stifle this freedom. I believe most, if not all, the hate crime laws are unconstitutional.
As for freedom of speech on YA, not all the time.

Here in the USA, we have very liberal Freedom of Speech rights. So long as it isn't slanderous, we can say pretty much anything we want to.

a whole lot,but this Y company does not extend that to it's customers.
Case in point being the two reporters in China they turned in to the Chinese authorities,giving up the identities of their private emails,and now they face heavy jail time,and their governments favourite pastime of "retraining their minds".
Y is being heavily investigated and criticized by all for their self absorption in their own a***s for bowing to that pressure,just to stay in business in China.
