When Pagan said, "Until local laws are changed, I cannot encourage someone to endanger themselves or their families over a few lousy dollars." You replied with, "That's why I recommend the use of private whois"
You have me confused.

I think freedom of speech is an universal right that belongs to each and every human on this planet. In some countries this is a very highly regarded value, while in others human rights - or individual rights in general - are worth much less.

This is a very unfortunate situation, but I think people who have to fear for their lives, freedom or personal belongings should use a private whois. As long as they conduct legal sites under the law of the registrar and where they are hosted they should not be put in danger as they just do the same thing as other Americans, Canadians or Brits or other free societies.

I think that's pretty easy to understand. Why would an American want to tell a Russian not to run a porn site because porn is illegal in Russia while the American is doing the same thing ....
