Hypocrisy
We're a free trading nation and in order to remain a free trading nation we must enforce law. That's exactly what I did.(G. W. Bush, imposing unilateral import tariffs on steel)
Also: French censorship laws can't be enforced against American companies, because of American free speech protections, but American censorship laws can be enforced against Russian companies, despite Russian free speech protections? (I suppose there are several consistent positions people could take -- first, that each country can apply its own laws only to companies located within that country; second, that each country can apply its own laws to everyone in the world who might speak to that country's residents; third, that jurisdiction is acquired through internationally-agreed standards on contacts (perhaps fixed by treaties like the new Hague Convention); fourth, that free speech should always be protected, regardless of whether or not any country's law protects it fully; fifth, that U.S. law should apply to everyone in the whole world and no other country's law should apply to people in the U.S.)
