I personally don't think the internet should be censored. When certain countries get blocked, the rest of the world misses out on what their smart citizens have to say. I can rant about censorship and Facebook for hours, so I better be careful with what I write here. The only version of Facebook I liked was the first version, when it was "thefacebook.com" back in 2004, and it felt like a small cool club to be a part of (and actually felt private enough). That's when it was also the fastest (I mean, super fast). Pinging the software team (er, person) back then was also easier to do for feature requests.

On a positive note, today marks the day when more people in Vietnam will simply learn how to use Tor, and with any luck, that network will get more relay clients, which it needs for speed.
