Censorship of the Internet: a challenge to freedom -

We recently updated our Paper Vision, and we wanted to share some content on our website

Internet is censored and limited worldwide. As a result, many people do not have access to the free and open Internet, we believe they should.

In a 2014 report by Freedom House, a monitoring organization dedicated to the expansion of freedom, it was reported that many of the countries surveyed had Internet experience that was only partially free or not at all. In addition, Internet freedom was down for the fourth consecutive year. The reasons for the decline include: increased surveillance, repressive laws, regulations on the use of media and cyber attacks

Likewise Transparency Report Google shows that 63 countries have asked him to restrict access to certain content. in the first six months of 2014. Only in 2013, Google was asked to remove over 39,000 items from its search results, and other sites.

These are just two examples of the widespread, increasing Internet censorship taking place around the world. This censorship poses a great obstacle to the freedom of the Internet, and we must work actively to fight against the trend. A Golden Frog we believe in a free Internet restrictions, and we are constantly fighting for the Internet experience for users.
