The country I live in is pretty free, the government still threatened to prosecute people for supporting Russia on social media. And don't even mention speech persecution in the UK.

The UK doesn't have a constitution and never had, they are ruled by a monarchy so what they do have only exists because the monarchy allows it to.

A lot of European countries have constitutions.

Does your country have free speech protections in its constitution?
