I never said anything about Western countries being paragons of moral clarity. However, for most of them, it has at least been a few decades since they last made camps where imprisoned people are subjected to torture.

And in most Western countries you don't get imprisoned for speaking out against the government, or being a journalist without government permissions.

And most Western don't feel they have to ban innocuous search terms, such as "Big yellow duck", or "Square", or the letter 'n'.
