I tried to have an automatic translation of the article. Well, I do wonder if that translation helps understand anything. Maybe someone will be able to come up with a better one.
So, we're bashnig China for the great firewall, eh ? France and the USA already block some content (if my memory serves well), Norway is considering it. To me, it seems that, even if China seems much more oppressive, the "job" of every government is to control it's population.
I'm belgian, and I know that in my country, right-wing political parties are kept away from the "democratic" ones, there is censorship here too.
Bah, politicians have to make sure they rightfully guide the uninformed mass, I guess (Noam Chomsky's "Understanding Power" is quite interesting on that matter).
