You have journalists and whistle blowers either seeking asylum (Assange) or fleeing to non-extradition countries (Snowden) for the crime of exposing extreme corruption in Western governments. New Zealand's response to their latest terror attack was "imprison anyone sharing links to either the video or the manifesto".
So yes, I'd say it really is a race to the bottom.

Nice to see that the western world is in a race for which country can destroy freedom of expression the quickest.
