The anti-censorship team at TunnelBear is excited to share some of the work they’ve been doing to combat internet censorship around the world. Today TunnelBear released a study, uncovering global perspectives on online censorship experiences of citizens in the US, CA, UK, Australia, Russia, Norway & Sweden. The survey showed large segments of people in each country do not trust the integrity of information they find online, and many suspect censorship is at play.
