You mean by using diversity for an excuse for that erosion? Perhaps yeah.
I'm not so doom and gloom about it. I'd say freedom of expression in many areas around the world has probably gone up and not down in recent years, whether through official or clandestine methods of communication, though naturally there are always points for contention (racial and religious hatred act here in the UK is one pet gripe I have). Depends on the country, and the legislation, and of course the propensity to accept what is imposed.
Overall I'd say legal oversite of legislation and its implementation here in the UK at least is fairly robust though not immune. But nothing is perfect, and I still don't see democracy as failing.
