In certain other countries, at least. Expecting government to protect free speech is a bit like expecting the wolf to protect the hens. The U.S. has invented numerous exceptions to the First Amendment over the years, so the idea that they can be the guardian of internet freedom worldwide is nothing short of preposterous.
All the lofty rhetoric is really just a disguise for U.S. attempts to interfere with the internal affairs of “unfriendly” countries and destabilize their governments by fomenting popular protest. If the Obama administration were serious about supporting internet freedom, they would be also be voicing concerns over censorship initiatives in Australia and France (just to name two).
The U.S. government is no friend to internet freedom. It supports censorship it approves of, such as that spreading through western democracies, and deplores censorship in places like China and Iran where stirring the pot in the name of freedom diverts popular attention from urgent crisis-level problems facing the government at home.
Regardless of their cheer leading, government is the most serious enemy of free speech citizens face because only government has the power to use the threat of force to prevent expression. And all governments are motivated to support speech they approve of and suppress speech they disapprove of. The truth of the matter is that they will suppress just as much speech as they can get away with.
