Free speech is a concept that has legal backing in countries that aren't the United States so don't really see the problem about talking about Free Speech without talking about the Constitution

Also, you don't have to talk about it in association with laws. I don't. From recent essay.pic.twitter.com/KWTsTURzEK

People's insistence on conflating the US 1A, speech law in general, and freedom of speech as a philosophy can be maddening

There are a LOT of Americans who don't understand that the USA is not the whole world. Even in Canada, many Americans think they're on home soil. They argue at the border that they have the right to carry firearms in Canada because of the 2nd amendment.

That's why I tell people I live on Planet America.

Nah. In the unlikely event that an understanding of US 1A jurisprudence is necessary, outsource. You have at least one friend with a US law degree who studied an abundance of Con Law, including 1A specifically ;)

One of the worst parts of twitter - Americentrism. A manifestation of educational and attitudinal failings.

Didn't you know that all the traditions and writing that happened before the U.S. was founded ceased to exist or became somehow American once the founding documents were written? Free speech only exists because of the U.S. Constitution.

Would it really hurt to get a degree. The American first amendment is pretty awesome? Just sayin...

Oh yeah that's a classic. It seems impossible to get it through to some Yanks that the concept of 'free speech' has any existence or definition outside of what the US Constitution says...

Those people (Americans, I assume?) need an elementary civics lesson so they can realize that the 1st Amendment and free speech are *not* synonymous

Ignore those who say the Constitution only protects speech from government action. In practical terms, speech conflicts always end up involving some branch of government, therefore the 1st Amendment does in fact guarantee universal freedom of speech.

Someday, there will be degree in Twitter. Final papers will consist of multilevel threads cross-linked for references. Points off for every meme (unless it's cleverly subversive).
