Censored internet
As officially and juristically the internet does not belong to anybody, the process of censoring is getting more complicated. Some countries (China, Iran, Cube, North Korea, in some way, Russia) limit access to the world web, but it is not forbidden to use the inner web.
The only way to control the internet is to forbid some international, informational, publicistic sites (for example, BBC) and Google search. The so-called semi-censoring is possible even in the democratic states. In accordance to this practice, some news is corrected due to the political, economic and social requirements of a state. There is a friend of mine who used to read some news sites in order to get more complete and clearer image of the world events and tendencies.
No one country dares to forbid the international web (it includes the web of all the countries and the local internet), but it is possible to control the content. Getting the news sometimes becomes harder as only some representatives of the elite are allowed to use the web. Sometimes only the doctors or lawyers are allowed to use the internet for the job purposes. In some countries (for example, North Korea) the internet is available in the internet-cafe only.
The internet is a national property actually, and the information in it is similar to the gossips. As it is difficult to understand how it works and how to restrict it, it is impossible to stop the spreading of the information; it is possible to limit it only.
