Obviously, this confusion doesn't always happen & lots of conversations on same page of general principle but it does happen a lot.

OK, yes, some Americans do think they invented freedom of speech & some Brits do pontificate on 1st amendment w/out having slightest clue.

But mostly there's just a misunderstanding which is easy to fix & it wld be great to do that rather than these endless circles of confusion.
