When the topic of Internet censorship is mentioned, people are likely to think of China, but many supposedly freedom-respecting countries have imposed censorship. Denmark's government has blocked access to a secret list of web pages. Australia's government wants to do likewise, but has met strong resistance, so instead it has forbidden links to a long list of URLs. Electronic Frontiers Australia was forced, under threat of fines of AUD 11,000 per day, to remove a link to an anti-abortion political web site.9 Denmark's secret list of forbidden URLs was leaked and posted on Wikileaks; that page is now on Australia's banned list.10 Germany is on the verge of launching Internet censorship.11
