    No, we have freedom of expression, not freedom of speech and it’s not unlimited contrary to the USA.

        Ya, “Free Speech” as written in the constitution only covers congressional laws.

          Even in the context of the US First Amendment, which makes it so that the government cannot abridge your right to free speech, it’s not unlimited. Think “Yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, when there’s no fire,” or libel/slander, or terroristic threats, or, I dunno, witness tampering.

          There’s lots of speech which must yield to other rights and protections.
