Google censored in 1/4 of countries

"This morning, on their main blog,  Google posted a little reminder to everyone about its view on censorship on the web. Specifically, they don't like it. And while we all know their take on China's demand for censorship by now, the search giant also offered up a new interesting little factoid: of the 100 countries around the world in which Google offers their services, some 25 at least partially block them."

 Countries taking action by censoring the internet is increasing, and frankly I don't agree with it. In my personal opinion it isn't the governments place to censor anything for any reason. Censorship should be done on a far lower level, such as a company blocking access to specific websites. This is simply more efficient and provides far less potential for inconvenience. You would think when there are so many people and groups supporting this that the government as a single entity would be a lot less willing to step on people's toes by going ahead and censoring as they please. I believe perhaps it is time debate against internet censorship was taken a bit more seriously and we put some pressure on it.
