damn US isn't far behind.

so this is censorship requests from the govt, correct?

yeah the daily mirror wrote that those request where about cencorship, deleting blog text´s and shit like this.

As always at the front in the mean things... :(

part of it may be censorship... part of it is probably more necessary.

ALOT of this is not censorship - but classified, or "need-to-know" information that slips onto an open network and google can easily access it.

Does "Government Agency" also include, or be on behalf of, the Police, Social Services, Educational Institutions ?

They could be websites, blogs that endorse or glorify terrorism, child pornography, bullying or ultra-right wing racist & homophobic views, all of which maybe reported by a Govt Agency.

Then again some could just be plain old Censorship .

Best to keep an open mind though.

no offense to anyone living in the UK, but it's hard to believe they only had 50-something requests. through my studies it seems that they are one of the most oppressive gov'ts as far as civil liberties are concerned. i can't really say anything since i've never been there, let alone live there, just my observations. if that count is accurate, i applaud them.

Thats a good old Labour government for you (and tony blair) before them you couldn't show a womans ankle sock on tv without a million complaints hitting the BBC.....
.....now we have midget porn quota to fill on in the newspapers and "how badly infected is my penis?"on channel 5 every fucking night.

Gone are the days of stiff upper lip, tally ho!, tea drinking that alot of people seem to get as the sterotype on american tv.

It's pretty cool really :D

Edit - i still love tea....

China is "missing" from this list... Maybe they asked to be removed from it?!?
