There is no freedom of speech.

Moreover,you can not criticize a nation, because you will be accused of racism. Therefore, you are very limited to open your mouth- it is much safer to think theoretically about the freedom of speech than to practice it, whereas your opponents have full right to sew you in the court of law, even if a trifle irritates them...
