Censorship appears to be increasingly severe not only in countries, which we traditionally view as authoritarian (Iran, North Korea, China, Russia, etc.) but also in Western ones. It is not uncommon anymore for users from around the globe to find themselves unable to access their favorite resources.

- there are parental control services that limit access for some age groups.
