Punching Holes in Internet Walls
If you live in Saudi Arabia, you cannot get access to pornography on
the World Wide Web. But then, you can't get access to Web sites that
the government considers defamatory to the country's royal family or
to Islam, nor can you use Yahoo chat rooms or Internet telephone
services. And even if you are a medical student, you may not be able
to see Web sites on human anatomy.

Countries That Track Internet Activity
Web filtering is just one method of restricting access to the
Internet. Here are some countries that have tried to control or track
their residents' online activities, according to Reporters Without
Borders, a French advocacy group.
