Russia 1990-2010 or so. We were coming off many decades of speech repression, and everyone understood that it's a treasure when people speak their mind. The Russian segment of LiveJournal had people of all imaginable political views yelling at each other all day, but when a US-based "abuse team" tried banning a few people for an offensive image, everyone saw that as a restriction of speech and rose up in protest. That's how I want the world to work.
