    from the country that checks social media history at the border to make sure you didn’t say anything bad about the Dear Leader

    That’s also illegal. A rational person would argue to prevent that. An irrational person would suggest that it justifies the regulation of even more speech by an already fascist govt.

      Genuinely asking here: do you think the word “illegal” means wrong?

      By definition, if a sovereign government decides it’s allowed to do something, it’s not illegal. You could say it’s unethical (though I’m not sure why you would), but you can’t say it’s illegal.
