I'm thankful for your contribution, I really am, so don't take me wrong, but just as I won't mind your giggling, excuse my being honest — you're just displaying a lack of imagination, despite how many books you've read. You find hard to take my concerns seriously not because they're inherently silly, but because you're measuring them about your circumstances, instead of supposing mine could be different. Not every land is the land of the free.
Thank you very much for such a sound post.
You seconded my opinion on this matter. I'll act accordingly. Thank you very much.

No I haven't.
But your comment makes me seriously wonder why if you are in a place where the authorities watch your every move would you ask the original question on such a searchable and public forum.
Now all jokes aside, if you are that concerned, get off the internet completely. Do not upload or download anything ever.
