A central theme in my life is a constant comparison between #USA and #Austria. One notable difference is how #FreeSpeech is considered. Both countries value it highly. #US has the very strict #FirstAmendment while Austria allows some kinds of #government #regulation of #speech. More and more, US's strict #rights look like a product of their time: #Democracy for an #elite minority resisting a #king. Austria's 20th century approach puts more power in an educated populace to decide some regulation
Given the current political tides, it remains an open question which system will provide better outcomes. But it should be interesting to watch at least 😉
