    CENSORSHIP

    The issue of internet censorship affects all countries that have internet access.
    In some countries, the internet content is filtered by government, typically to
    hinder the spread of information from political opposition groups, to filter out
    subjects deemed offensive, or to block information from sites that could
    endanger national security.

    Increasingly, some countries are also blocking information (such as blogs and
    personal web pages) from living the country, and have occasionally completely
    shut down internet access to and from the country during political protests to
    stop the flow of information in and out of that country. The following countries
    were visited to see how internet access in handled

    Country Location Year visited Conclusions

    Uganda Africa 2019 Good

    Egypt Africa 2011 Very good

    USA North America 20-20 Excellent

    Venezuela Latin America 2015 Good
