> Moral comparisons between countries is usually ill-advised for this exact reason. This sort of baseless moral superiority bugs me - India is not nearly as far from China as OP seems to think it is, at least when it comes to online freedoms. Completely agreed on making moral comparisons. I have noticed this in a few threads involving developing countries where people emerge out of the woodwork to rant about either A) How everyone is victimizing aforesaid developing country and they should just stop. or B) Make a completely irrelevant argument about how the developing country in question making progress in X is irrelevant because of abuses or oppressions or whatever. Both of these are from opposing camps but are founded on bad logic.
