"Black Holes" of the Internet Around the World

This map comes from the Reporters Without Borders organization, and features a map of the world and the countries that are not allowed access to the certain parts of the Internet, something that we in America take for granted ever day. There are 15 total countries, most of them with constant political and social unrest, and their governments have "blacked out" news and coverage to their citizens. What's fascinating to me is that China, the world's most populated country and a superpower in world market, has restricted access to its people in this day and age.
