    The Mosaic society with laws written by God didn't look like a free speech paradise to me.

      So true, you have a corrupt ex communist tyrant at the helm of a pretend democracy. Are the Russian people in general just stupid or do they live in fear?

        Some governments do abuse of jails, some don't.
        It's not that I have a problem with forbidding immoral speech in theory. The problem is that I really don't want the government deciding for us what constitutes immoral speech.

          Right, you want the church deciding for us what constitutes immoral speech.

            uh. this is China. There IS no free speech.

              Right; there's no precedent to set here. Meanwhile, China has gone on the full offense against Christianity in the last few weeks. That's where the real concern should be, not this.

                  Well you said that you have no problem with forbidding immoral speech, you just don't want the government deciding what constitutes immoral speech. So who is it that you would have no problem with "deciding for us what is immoral speech and forbidding its usage?
