If you are reading this page, you can consider yourself in the lucky part of the world. A new study by OpenNet Initiative shows that the internet is not as free and unrestricted as previously considered. The study showed that at least 25 countries around the world limit their citizens’ access to the internet.
China, Iran, Burma, Syria, Tunisia and Vietnam lead the list of countries limiting internet access to their citizens for political reasons. Other countries were reported to limit their citizens’ access to content considered unethical or in conflict with local and official religion such as pornographic content.
