I think this is a meaningless question. Being allowed to discuss your atrocities versus not, but not having the choice to actually stop doing atrocities, is a strange point of pride. Being allowed to discuss our wars in the Middle East clearly doesn't prevent them. Being allowed to discuss our immoral and unconstitutional treatment of immigrants clearly isn't stopping it.

We are just as unwilling as a society forcefully to halt our governments' evils as China is their's. Our government is just as bloodthirsty and fascist as their's, regardless of whether you're allowed to point that out or not (also, Palantir is adding you to the database if you do, we just haven't found out what they're planning to do with the database yet).
