How have attitudes toward free speech changed in the United States and what are Americans unaware of regarding speech laws in Europe?

According to Matt Taibbi, there has been a dramatic shift in U.S. attitudes toward free speech, with over 50% of Americans now supporting the outlawing of misinformation, contrasting sharply with attitudes from 10-15 years ago when most people across political lines believed in the First Amendment and free speech principles. Simultaneously, most Americans remain unaware of stringent speech laws enacted throughout Europe in the last decade, including the Digital Services Act in the EU, the Network Enforcement Act in Germany, and the Online Safety Act in England. These laws allow for imprisonment for speech offenses, representing a significant restriction on free expression that many Americans don't recognize is occurring in allied democratic nations.
