:::: Point taken that "anti-democracy" implies that they are opposed to democracy itself, but then you go on to in effect say that their bias is democracy-related! Yes, "selection bias" is probably correct, but I don't believe that it's self-explanatory. Just throwing out an idea to keep us thinking, how about "Bias against democratic countries"?

:::::The selection bias is ''related'' to democracy & freedom of speech because those countries are where AI suggests it can have the biggest impact, as I outlined above, but this is not a bias against democracy. Selection bias isn't a self-explanatory term, but it could be explained in the text. However, if you don't want to use it as a section title, I think your suggested title of "Bias against democratic countries" is satrisfactory, as this is what much of the the controversy/criticism boils down to, but please keep in place the last paragraph mentioning accusations of pro-American/British bias too.
