Watchdog Says World Internet Freedom In Decline

------------------------------


& the U.S. isn't exactly crystal clear:

The United States, while ranked the sixth-most-free country in terms of internet use, saw a two-point decline over the past year.

Interestingly,

Of the countries in RFE/RL's broadcast area that are covered by the report, only two are ranked as free: Georgia, with 26 points; and Armenia, with 28 points.

China is nortorious for its broad based, sweeping censorship of the internet & access to information. Syria & Iran are not too far behind it.
