> We have good definition of what is considered, or rather, NOT considered free speech given by decades of SCOTUS/court jurisprudence.

"We" is only "citizens of the USA". Other countries have quite a different tradition regarding this, and citizens of such countries often quite a different understanding than USA citizens of what is considered as "free speech" in the USA and what does not.

Well Twitter is a company based in the USA so I don't see why the rest of the world's laws should be relevant here.

One thing is laws, the other is "understanding [of free speech]". My comment was about the latter.

Most of the rest of the world doesn't have a codified understanding of free speech. I think the US definition is as good as any.
