> Do you not keep up to date? I live in New Zealand, a western democratic country and if I possess or share "objectionable material" of a political nature, I could land in jail for up to 14 years.
What exactly? I could not find anything by Googling on material which would land you in jail for 14 years.
The relevant legislation is on the surface about CP, but if you read the fine print it includes anything that:
d) Promotes criminal acts or acts of terrorism; or
e) Represents any particular class of the public as inherently inferior as a result of a characteristic of members of that class being a characteristic that is a prohibited ground of discrimination specified in the Human Rights Act 1993.
No, AFAICT just pointing out that "You can be jailed for up to X years just for having stuff on your computer!" goes for Western[1] countries, too. Factually correct, of course (the best kind of correct), but employed here in the service of some pretty hefty whataboutism.

[1]: "Western"?!? NZ is about as far East as you can get, innit? Oh well, you know, "generally regarded as non-dictatorships".
