Net censorship spreads worldwide...

"Repressive regimes are taking full advantage of the net's ability to censor
and stifle reform and debate, reveals a report.

Written by the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) pressure group the report
highlights the ways governments threaten the freedom of the press.

The report has a section dedicated to the internet and the growing roster of
nations censoring online life.

This censorship is practised on every continent on Earth, said the report."

Not so shocking is it?
