Google put up an interesting page this morning dealing with Transparency. As an international company, their primary goal is maximize free expression and access to information.
To promote transparency around this flow of information, they built an interactive online Transparency Report with tools that allow people to see where governments are demanding that we remove content and where Google services are being blocked. Google believes that this kind of transparency can be a deterrent to censorship.
I think it's a great start to identifying the problem areas in censorship. At the very least, it can allow users to figure out where in the world they are the most likely to be censored and avoid those areas.
