from the country that checks social media history at the border to make sure you didn't say anything bad about the Dear Leader

That's also illegal. A rational person would argue to prevent that. An irrational person would suggest that it justifies the regulation of even more speech by an already fascist govt.

Genuinely asking here: do you think the word "illegal" means wrong?

By definition, if a sovereign government decides it's allowed to do something, it's not illegal. You could say it's unethical (though I'm not sure why you would), but you can't say it's illegal.

Genuinely asking here: do you think the word "illegal" means wrong?

...no? But I think in this particular instance, obviously yes.

if a sovereign government decides it's allowed to do something, it's not illegal

...wat? Why would that be illegal?
