Along with most Western social media, political news, and VPNs, pornography is censored through the 'Great Firewall of China', also known as the Golden Shield Project. The communist country China employs the world's second-most-restrictive censorship levels. In case people think they can outsmart the government and use a virtual protected network (VPN) to access porn, think again. The government censors everything moving into, out of, or around the country, including all news sources, media outlets, and social media. North Korea has the highest level of censorship of any country in the world. Countries with the most restrictive internet and pornography laws Censorship laws tend to correlate strongly with countries' levels of overall freedom. Other countries are much more stringent, and some go so far as to censor or block pornography on the internet. Countries like the United States and Canada have little-to-no censorship thanks to laws guaranteeing free speech and the ways the courts interpret those laws. Is pornographic material free speech that should be protected, or is it obscenity and even a public health concern? While we all have our own personal opinions, the countries in which we live have the final legal say in the matter-and some countries have deemed pornography not only immoral, but also illegal.
