I disagree that free speech is binary.

For example, I think that a country can be said to have free speech if it disallows people from promising to compensate someone in exchange for murder.




Free Speech that is restricted is no longer Free, so how can it not be binary? Either you're free to say things - including politically repugnant things - or you are not free to do so.
