Wow, every one of the comments I read are simply dumb. Even the US has a filtered internet. Obviously, some countries are more filtered than others, but some of you that are posting are completely missing the point. We are being censored. That’s all this video is saying. And to Tar who states it’s “just some hipster”, you’re an idiot. Big name corporations are going to work in compliance with countries because they are getting paid to do what they are told and that’s the bottom line. Just because Google and Microsoft contribute to the filtering does not make them bad companies. They either get paid or they don’t. It is that simple. They are looking out for number one, which no human can EVER deny. You all should be upset that you’re being lied to, not about who’s lying to you.

Uh, how is this a good explanation of anything? It’s just some hipster dude mumbling facts and statistics underneath some obnoxious music with some minimalist graphics thrown in.

Very educating. thanks for posting. I guess the internet rules are not so much different that each countries society rules…. We could have hoped that free speech would not be hampered by the very trying country promoting it. (or are we)

So, someone is mad at google or microsoft for creating filters? What? If that’s not correct, disregard the rest of this comment.

Filters are not good or bad, and google or microsoft are not bad for making them. They’re just a product. The same product can be used to reduce spam. Just because a corrupt government uses something in a “bad” way, you can’t hold the makers of the product responsible for this.

yea and so? Lets say micro and google did not make the software; their will be other companies that will. Next this is in other countries, not America, meaning this is why we are America. To us the laws of other countries may not be right by our standards but its right by theirs.
