> Freedom of speech is absolute.

Hm, where ? when ?

I've heard lot of Americans defending that line as if "freedom of speech" was literally an unconditional universal right given by God to the human race.

Freedom of speech is either nonexistent or heavily restricted in most places because total freedom inevitably ends up with other people losing their own freedom/rights.

It's illegal and punishable by law to be openly homophobic in France. it's illegal and punishable by law to be openly nazi in Germany.
