I know there is a lot of controversy about privacy, but in what way are western governments acting against free speech?

It also seems like you are suggesting that the attacks might not have been caused by islamists, and suggesting that if the attackers are islamists then islamophobia is the rational response which is being suppressed. Seems like an odd combination.

Previously the UK moved to go near Chinese internet censorship by introducing a general internet censorship infrastructure and using it to censor things like videos of female ejaculation.

Now Cameron tries to be more totalitarian then China by banning general encryption.
