The countries where Facebook censors the most content [View all]

Some of the countries on this list of countries censoring content are a bit surprising. For instance, I didn't expect to see Australia, France and the United Kingdom on it.

"As Facebook expands, countries are increasingly interested in making content on the social network disappear.

Censorship on Facebook increased 19% between the first six months of 2014 and the last six months of 2013, the company revealed on Tuesday. But censorship isn't distributed evenly; some countries are more trigger-happy than others when asking Facebook to remove content."
