Global Internet Penetration Vs Internet Freedom

  /     /  
Internet penetration across The Globe compared with the  Internet Freedom across Countries. At the top are countries like Britain, US ,Germany where Internet Freedom index is the highest, while the lowest Internet freedom index countries are  China, Iran, Tunisia, Cuba,Burma and Saudi Arabia. The Middle of the scale has countries like India, Indonesia,Brazil, Venezuela,Malaysia
The number of people with access to the internet has more than doubled in the past five years to over two billion. Many governments have responded with regulation and repression, according to a report published on April 18th by Freedom House, which assigns countries an internet freedom score. Nine of the 15 countries that the Washington-based think-tank assessed in 2009 fared worse this year, among them Iran, Tunisia and China. On the plus side, citizens are growing increasingly adept at sidestepping these threats to their internet freedoms, and the use of social media did much to galvanise political opposition across the Arab world in recent months. Indeed web-users in some countries, such as Georgia and Estonia, have more freedom now than they did two years ago.( economist)

Google never really managed to land the number one spot in China, and now, with Google having largely stepped back from that market, that will remain the case for the foreseeable future.
  • United States: Google
  • China: Baidu

Top websites

The BIggest Corporate Tax Dodgers: Infographic

  /     /  
This Infographic comes from  understory  which showcases the 12 of the dirtiest corporate tax dodgers: Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Chevron, BP, Shell, Exxon, Massey Energy, Alpha Natural Resources, Peabody Energy and Arch Coal. These 12 banks, oil and coal companies are responsible for foreclosing on millions of people’s homes and polluting our air, water and climate. At the same time, we found that they pay next to nothing into a tax system that provides the very services that protect the homeless, the sick and our environment. As the graphic below shows, banks, oil and coal companies are making billions in profits annually and paying much less than their fair share in taxes. In fact, the top four oil companies in the country made $1.26 trillion in gross revenues and paid a shocking 2.04% average tax rate.
