Considering the biased source, it'd be nice to hear first hand experience from HNers. Let me start. India: Generally free. Sometimes random people are arrest

Considering the biased source, it'd be nice to hear first hand experience from HNers. Let me start. India: Generally free. Sometimes random people are arrested because they happened to curse a politician, and some moron complained to the Police. It's more often comical, in contrast to say cases like Snowden/Assange, The IT dept. (like much else) are rather incompetent, and have at various points blocked Github and Vimeo in their puritanical zeal.
