And which I absolutely do not dispute, BrianH.

I made the reference only to counteract Gareth's assertion that "there is no attempt so far by any "Western" power to limit freedom of speech".

In your example, you provided a list of eleven countries which do exactly that.

Eight of them are EU member states, one is an acceeding EU state, one is Israel, and one is Switzerland.

That constitutes 'Western' in my book.
