the UK is going dystopian real fast: you can be arrested for memes, mean tweets, and monitored by the military for questioning government responses to a virus. The push for client side scanning failed but it'll be back, "for the children", of course. Commonwealth countries all seem to be similar in this regard. The US has its problems but it still feels objectively more free than UK, Canada, or New Zealand. I know thats a controversial statement and will piss some people off.
