The Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage (SPEECH) Act is a 2010 federal statutory law in the United States that makes foreign libel judgments unenforceable in U.S. courts, unless either the foreign legislation applied offers at least as much protection as the U.S. First Amendment (concerning free speech), or the defendant would have been found liable even if the case had been heard under U.S. law.

    The US first amendment is widely regarded worldwide as extremist. Its protections are only ever claimed by racists as an excuse to spew hate speech. There’s a reason private platforms don’t follow it, but the US government is handcuffed.
