Introduction
Nowadays an average person can have access to Internet and vast amount of data. The people such as students, researchers, social and political workers, and children around the world do share their opinion on different platforms. In fact, I name this freedom of speech and great source of learning which has turned this world into a global village. But some countries have started monitoring the work of Internet users, filtering data and information, banned some important sites, or trace the route of data fetched. Such kind of controlling and manipulating the traffic over the Internet is termed as ‘Censorship of Internet’ by the Government officials. For instance,
Pakistan has banned www.youtube.com and filtering data over www.facebook.com so that the inappropriate uploading and sharing of images would be controlled. Similarly, Iran, China,
Tunisia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Burma, and North Korea are the top 10 internet-censored
countries
