The chart is literally titled "Internet censorship and surveillance by country (2014)" with categories that don't differentiate between censorship and surveillance, so I'm relatively certain that the two have been lumped together.
- ninkendo 9y agoSure, but that doesn’t imply that there’s an equivalency between the two, or that the grading scale should be course-grained enough to show no difference between the U.S. and China. If I made an article called “human rights violations and numbers of reality tv shows by country” and painted Saudi Arabia and Germany the same color, it should rightly raise some eyebrows.
