Interestingly enough. In France, the definition of freedom contains “my freedom ends where the freedom of others begins”. Freedom is therefore a social contract held by boundaries, as opposed to the individualist unbridled freedom from the USA.
There's a common phrase in the US, "the freedom to swing your arm ends at the tip of my nose". The trouble is no one really agrees on the size of noses.
