I'm in US. No restrictions, land of the free:)

China might be the only country with restrictions so far, Russia might join you soon so you don't feel alone

yeah.  Free.  Especially if you are white and christian.  But they would never block anything right?  Especially not a site that thinks free speech is good, like wiki leaks right?

Exactly. And limitations on military personnel accessing news sites like the guardian, etc. It's not as bad as China but there is censorship. It's not always done directly by the government though. Often it relies on private interests self-censoring or pursuing others to court for example. Didn't know bitcointalk was blocked in China though. Had to double check on http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/index.php?siteurl=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcointalk.org to make sure.
