I'm not aware of the kingdom of whataboutistan. Is it related to this post somehow?

Yes, different kind of censorship in the world. A more broad vision.

Keep going, then. Any other country to mention, seeing how it's important to you? Russia? China? Italy? India? Pakistan?

I somehow feel your "broad" is actually quite narrow. Usually happens with the whatabautisms

Why going so long when we have a near, english-speaking , clean example of a country famous for the free speech. If you have the highest example of human rights why check the rest.

So much from broadening... As soon as I mention any other suddenly there's no point checking other countries.
