> 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.
