People who live in a country without freedom of speech have their civil rights often suspended, based on other factors they may also persecuted.

• Some countries don’t have freedom of speech because of their own history.

• Some countries elected Politian's who have changed their constitution and eliminated their freedom of speech.

• Other countries have had revolutions, or civil wars to put their leaders as dictators who suspended their civil rights like freedom of speech.

A democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the qualified members of a state, typically through elected representatives

Canada has freedom of speech, it is protected under the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms.

In many ways yes we can change places without freedom of speech. We can support and encourage oppressive government to take steps towards democracy, and decrease their grip on power. When violent or peaceful protest/ revolutions occur we can support the opposition to a reasonable extent.

In theory , due to their employers interests there is often a bias. Also based on what country they are from may promote propaganda.
