So, as he put it "No one is coming to your door or telling you what lawful websites you can and can't look at or what you can say to people".
Well, the key word here is "lawful".
We have for example cases where people were arrested and tried for merely linking to another website (e.g a news aggregator operator was arrested for the content of a linked news article).
We also have made up charges for people viewing "child pornography". For example one well known activist had such charges made up against him by the police for revenge, AFTER he had testified and provided evidence of police involvment in sexual trafficking.
There are also cases of people arrested for having a blog with religious satire.
We have cases where a advisor to the PM threatens people contributing donations to a certain news site.
Or the same advisor giving the real name of an anonymous (critical to the government) blogger on Twitter.
We had a case (recently) of a politician suing (and getting injunction measures) against a Wikipedia editor, for mentioning a well known fact about him (already published in numerous newspapers and books).
