Interesting question. The one who claims a state to be a data heaven could use the absence of negative events/press against free speech as argument for a data heaven or point to laws which grant freedom of speech. On the other hand one claiming a state is not a data heaven, could point to negative events/press to support that argument. -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
