No, the inalienable right to publish creative works without the government forcing you to add or remove content or features.

If they didn’t protect this in the United States, your iPhone would have an FBI backdoor in it as of the last iOS update. It does not, because there are some people in the US who still believe that the government does not have the right to serve as your product manager or editorial board.

This is an interesting distinction. I wonder how, or if, China’s regulations would differ if it were free (freedom and/or beer). But, I think a country has a certain right to regulate when it comes to commerce, especially foreign commerce.
