Google Publishes Censorship Map

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the finger-pointing-is-fun dept.

Entropy98 writes "Google has released a censorship map showing how often countries around the world request user information and censor services such as Youtube. The US government asked Google for user information 4,287 times during the first six months of 2010. Information on China is conspicuously absent."

    As for China, I wonder how long it will be until someplace like Australia or Canada decide "Hey that's a good idea" and declare takedown request to be state secrets.

    I checked the map, interesting Canada has less than 10 (!)

    World of difference the border between the US and Canada makes.
