Yes but what does cultural freedom of speech even mean when it comes to the interactions between private citizens if not that? You have the freedom to say <blank> and won't be arrested for it is legal freedom of speech. You have the right to say <blank> and Johhny can't smash your teeth in for it is just the law against assault.

Stated differently what would a society where there is a legal right to free speech but not a cultural principal of free speech look like and how is it different than the US right now?
