US EditionTrump Reportedly Considers Asylum for British Citizens on Speech Grounds
Trump explores asylum for Britons prosecuted under expanding UK speech laws amid contrasting U.S. First Amendment protections, highlighting differences in free speech frameworks.
- Critics in the U.S. note that American politician JD Vance highlights a profound gulf between United States and European conceptions of free speech, with the U.S. approximating near-absolute protection under the First Amendment.
- Historically, legal protection for free speech in Europe and North America is barely two centuries old, rooted in the 17th-century scientific revolution and 18th-century European Enlightenment.
- Under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, expression is protected but allows exceptions like national security and public safety; in Britain, exceptions include secret intelligence disclosures and `grossly offensive` messages.
- Pressure to censor often stems from collective grievances, with particular ethnic, social or religious groups pressing to exclude ideas they find intolerable.
- Philosophers note that truth and wisdom as evolving concepts increase through knowledge and testing conflicting arguments, while George Orwell, writer, argued free speech must include unwelcome expressions.
