  > Higher than UK Not according to https://rsf.org/en/index https://rsf.org/en/index or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Press_Freedom_Index https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Press_Freedom_Index I assume that other indices that show “data” that fits whatever narrative one wants are easy to find… Which makes things like this meaningless in isolation.

  In day to day life we are fairly free but for example we have much weaker freedom of speech/opinion than the USA. For example if you raise your arm at a particular angle you can now be sent to jail [1]. We also had some of the longest/harshet COVID lockdowns in the world in my state.
