By due process I am talking about the legal protections that individuals can expect in the system, not whether the laws are selectively applied. Before cyber-crime and counter-terrorism laws were passed in China, there were many documented cases of dissidents being jailed under vague laws and unrelated charges. Yet it was no secret their real crime was "inappropriate speech". So even if the enforcement of laws is arbitrary or politically motivated, it does not change the fact that such laws are not necessary to restrict speech.
