I don't think anyone is assuming that Ecuador is a bright and shining city on a hill when it comes to civil liberties. What it is is a tactically and potentially strategically useful jurisdiction for a specific class of people in some situations. As with Hong Kong and Russia, I wouldn't assume that anyone is endorsing it as such. I mean, if they are, yes, they should go do some reading, but that's just not germane to the conversation for the most part, unless we're talking about civil rights in a whole pile of other places as well.
