Not sure what you're getting at here, breh. Draconian surveillance is definitely not something I support, but I think that's a separate issue from censorship and lack of access to avenues for free expression, which is what I'm posting about.

Here's a report by the independent organization Reporters Without Borders that ranks countries by how free their press is. Notice where the USA ranks compared to Sweden, and most other developed nations: http://en.rsf.org/press-freedom-index-2011-2012,1043.html

I agree we have some fukked up censorship issues compared to other western industrialized nations, but I'm just saying...

when we go around praising these countries for they "good" they're doing, you have to put it in perspective with the bad. Also, the law I just referenced allows them to eavesdrop on large portions of traffic of neighboring countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance#Sweden
