Reporters Sans Frontieres has published a blacklist of 13 countries with the worst records of internet censorship. They are running a campaign where you can register your opposition to this within the next 24 hours.
They forgot the USA sadly.....

Without doubt all the countries mentioned are oppressive when it comes to political dissent on the internet, but we here are subject to censorship just as pernicious, but because its sexual censorship it tends to get forgotten. With the government's intention to put possessors of 'extreme porn' (quite a few of us I imagine) away for three years, it wont be long before we have our own internet martyrs, if we dont have some already. Personally, I think that anything that does not involve under age participants, or lack of informed consent, should be freely available to adults.
