The UK has surpassed the US in surveillance - the Tempora program attempts to capture all traffic in the UK and store it as long as possible.
The only censorship/filtering here is for two things: piracy and porn.
That's not quite true - along with self-censorship, there are huge areas (for example surveillance) which cannot be discussed in an open way in the UK because of government pressure (D-Notices, threats of legal action etc).

Sorry are you suggesting that we in the UK can't have an open discussion on surveillance?
