Consequences

Rekov by your definition nowhere in the world exist freedom of speech because every country put some limits on it. And to be honest your dualistic idea of "It either applies for everything or nothing" is a bit naive. It has been a great conquest for humankind the development of the concept of freedom of speech but like everything it has to be applied with some common sense not with a everything go attitude. In your interpretation what would happen to stalking victims? The stalker would have the right to continue to telephone, to text or to speak to his victim saying whatever please him, he's just exercising his freedom of speech. To conclude there is the right to freedom of speech but there is also the right to not be the subject of abusive behaviour and they have to be carefully balanced. Both of them if applied to their extreme consequences would bring more bad things than good.
