Ranking of countries for internet censorship



The following list shows a country by country breakdown of censorship (by  ONI).  It features political, social, Internet tools and conflict/security. Again this demonstrates how a person who emails to certain countries must be careful of the policies which that nation holds forth. The more important an email is, the more prudent a sender should be.
