isn't Belgium (#3 on this list) currently trying to put an academic in jail because of his research? That honestly makes the entire thing suspect in a way that is basically disqualifying to every single thing you said in this piece
I'm honestly a bit skeptical about this supposed 'Academic Freedom' list. Also, the quote “What I find most concerning is that we’re in this phase now where instead of telling us what not to teach, they’re telling us what to teach" is hilarious to me; part of any academic teaching job is being asked to teach specific courses and specific topis. If you refuse to do so, then why should you be hired in the first place?

Of course I deplore self-censorship but, especially given the preponderance of the left leaners, it is hard not to smile at the Karma of man bites dog
The color coding of Canada as doing okay puzzles me. My case? Or, my god, Frances Widdowson’s?
