I am guessing Zimbabwe has arrested more than a few people for their internet sites, too. And Senegal and Gambia, too, where they are currently hunting down gay people in order to execute them.

This does happen in the US which is why the ACLU was going after the government for secretly spying on citizens. There are US citizens that have actually had the FBI/CIA knock on their door because of this but of course we are not going to hear about it on the news. We are dealing with some real lunatics in the government
Speaking of nutcases, Michael Reagan called for the murder of Mark Dice for exposing the truth and called others in the 9/11 Truth Movement traitors. The FBI may investigate
They would never arrest bloggers in this country. Then they'd have to feed them.

We have a nexus of corporations like the AP suing bloggers and countries like Egypt arresting bloggers. If Thomas Paine was alive he'd be horrified
