So censored, that the entire internet system in the new Mongolia was completely destroyed, and a DOS-based anonymous messaging system was established in its place for authorized personnel only. Persons not authorized to use the single computer in each commune who breach the code of conduct and use the system are usually outright shot.

Well, there's no internet here but judging by the way we censor other forms of media we'd definitely keep the internet on a tight leash if we did have it.

We have mostly freedom of Internet, but songs that are not from Kristian Kostov are censored and banned. For example: If you want to search for The Bangles Eternal Flame, it will say: "This song is not allowed/Тази песен не е разрешена/Эта песня не допускается/Deze nummer is niet toegestaan"

In Crsca, the internet has been widely censored and the only websites and pages permitted to visit are government-approved ones i.e websites who distributes government propaganda. Anyone visiting a prohibited website will find himself pinned to the floor by four SYBEZKA operatives within the period of a couple minutes.

Is there internet censorship in your country?
Yes
If so, how far does it carry out?
Content deemed 'counter-revolutionary' is viewed as a threat to public safety, and is thus blocked.

Internet censorship isn't an implemented policy by the government; in fact, the internet is purely free. However, citizens are given the responsibility to remember that if they are to demonstrate pro-nonhuman allegiance, they will face the consequences when suspected.

Internet censorship does exist in Grundprilaborado. It's range of control is intended to be as far-reaching as possible. All spheres of public and private life face regulation for the benefit and well-being of all.

The only thing we would censor is child pornography and websites operated by terrorists. Thats it, anything else would be unconstitutional.

There is no internet censorship anywhere in the Federation, nor is there at any of our colonies. This would be an deep impediment to the freedom of speech rights that are guaranteed in our constitution. While some have proposed it in the past, there has been no real effort to bring it into effect.

Is there internet censorship in your country? Yes.

If so, how far does it carry out? The New Bahtari government censors all internet material that is not approved by the New Bahtari government. This means that New Bahtari internet only consists of New Bahtari government propaganda and approved websites from New Bahtar. Previously, the internet was banned outright, but New Bahtari computer programmers, with the help of North Korea, developed DhowOS, an operating system built for New Bahtar.

DhowOS blocks all non-government approved content, which is basically all content exept New Bahtari propaganda.

Internet censorship in the Abode of Peace has been described as moderately pervasive. Major internet service providers are subjected to regulations set by a commission established by the Imperial Council of Justice and Internal Affairs, which requires blocking of websites deemed containing materials that "endanger the harmony and stability of realm", such as human trafficking, child pornography, promotion of hate crimes and terrorism, or other contents declared incompatible with "traditional values". Surveillance is said to be extensive, and on occasion criticisms against the authority could lead to arrest and prosecution on numerous grounds such as hate crime, slander, or the grave crime of lese-majeste.

We don't censor the internet, however anything which would be illegal offline still applies online - libel laws, hate speech laws and so on.

Internet censorship is nonexistent and the government does not monitor the internet, because that is a violation of basic rights.

Yes there is internet censorship pornography for one is outlawed along with propaganda from hostile regimes such as Syria and Iran. Communist websites are illegal as are homosexual websites and most dating sites unless they meet government standards. Gambling sites are also illegal.

The Confederation does not censor the Internet, and a court order is required before certain websites can be monitored. It goes without saying that activity in websites promoting terrorism, child pornography, etc. may or may not be monitored on a regular basis.

Any site expressing political beliefs that are different from that of the Government are blocked, as well as sites displaying porn. However there is a loophole, as the laws do not consider pornographic material which does not contain actual people (i.e hentai, drawn porn. Art basically.) to actually be pornography.
