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.

Comparing Snowden and people who want to share an objectionable video is a false equivalence.

Sure that's not in the same category by far. That's an insider leak. How about comparing it with Assange though?
