The US in the 1st amendment has one of the strongest regimes for protecting expression in the world. In this case I'm only considering activity that is intentionally public and published so surveillance isn't considered. Privacy is orthogonal.

Sure, but there are plenty of other countries that has "one of the strongest regimes for protecting expression in the world" also, but also doesn't have gag orders, so I'm fairly sure what country I wouldn't host a service like that in.
You yourself said "one of the strongest regimes", so since you didn't say "#1", I'm sure there are other countries in that list of yours. Want to share three of those other ones you were thinking about?
