I won't comment on your first point but I will say it's weird you argue for private companies' rights and then use a country where most of our tech companies are de facto banned(Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, Reddit, Snapchat, Pinterest, Youtube, Twitch, etc), where anonymous internet usage isn't possible(must show ID for even an internet cafe), and where mass topical censorship is legally required. What we had in the US/Europe is debate over what extreme edge cases and fringe ideologies meet the minimal threshold to be considered dangerous enough to society to stamp out, and even then every instance is met with great debate and pushback. Some people make "careers" out of making hateful replies to politicians we're objectively much freer here and better off for it.
