The Internet represents freedom, but not everywhere.

The Chinese government leads all others on this list as far as repression of the Internet. Each day about 40,000 state employees monitor what gets sent over the transom. All blogs that use China's biggest blogging platform must be hosted inside the country. And the country's information ministry is always watching and filtering out information it doesn't like. "With the world's largest number of Internet users, its censorship mechanisms are among the world's most blatant," the report states. At last count, 49 cyberdissidents and bloggers were jailed--the majority for "revealing state secrets abroad."
