>If you live in Saudi Arabia, you cannot get access to pornography on
>the World Wide Web. But then, you can't get access to Web sites that
>the government considers defamatory to the country's royal family or
>to Islam, nor can you use Yahoo chat rooms or Internet telephone
>services. And even if you are a medical student, you may not be able
>to see Web sites on human anatomy.

>Countries That Track Internet Activity
>Web filtering is just one method of restricting access to the
