I'm wondering if NZ even has a free speech tradition. We censored US and USSR propaganda in the Cold War and arrested Germaine Greer for saying bullshit. The way things are going she could still get arrested for calling out bullshit today.

What about how Houellebecq was dragged into court for saying “Islam is the stupidest religion”? A nation can “function” while charging someone for casually criticizing a religion. I mean, China lacks free speech and “functions.” But how is being merely functional relevant?

Houellebecq wasn't dragged into court by a nation but by an association, and he won his case.

They may “function” without free speech, but they are not truly free if the citizens can’t speak freely.
