There are 6 countries listed in that article, out of the nearly 200 countries in the world. Hardly "most."

And there doesn't appear to be examples of those 6 countries imprisoning people for those laws.

So basically, you have no real proof to back up your claim that "most" countries are "putting people in jail"
