Noone is being jailed for speech in EU, you are misinformed by your antidemocratic elites. Incarceration rate in Germany is almost 10 times lower than in the US, and prison time is used for really severe cases, not for being mean on Twitter


People are being arrested in Berlin for saying "Palestine will be free"


OK, sure, antisemitism is a different topic, and Germany might have a bit of an overreaching definition of it. Which IMO is understandable given German history, but I agree that this is one topic where Germany's freedom of speech is endangered. It's not something Vance would complain about I guess though.
