By the way, I fiddled with the metrics at https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?table=censorship-events&start=2000-09-29&end=2012-12-28#censorship-events and got this list of countries: China, United Republic of Tanzania, Republic of Korea, Ethiopia, Philippines, Seychelles, Iran, Pakistan, Gibraltar, and Bangladesh. Freedom House on the countries & territories that are worst re: freedom of expression: http://www.freedomhouse.org/report/special-reports/worst-worst-2012-worlds-most-repressive-societies : Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tibet, Western Sahara, Belarus, Burma, Chad, China, Cuba, Laos, Libya, and the territory of South Ossetia. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
