I thought this map was interesting because it shows several countries (listed in the graphic) that are "black holes" to the internet, I found this interesting because only Libya for instance in Africa has is considered a black hole but I would think that the whole top and even middle portion of Africa would be a black hole since it has a lot of developing countries. I can see why portions of the Middle East are black holes, because they don't want free news circulating there, as the graphic states, but everywhere else minus parts of Asia, get news.
