Google and Censorship

This is a fairly simple visualization that actually conveys its meaning very effectively. It's a chart of how many articles these countries (represented by their flags) ask Google to remove information from its database. I feel like it just raises questions about censorship and free speech - although some of the requests may have been perfectly legitimate. You may notice that China isn't one of the countries listed, but as it says on the visualization, any business between China and a company like google is said to be private so they are not allowed to share any of this type of information
