China is now the worst country in the world for Internet freedom

Internet freedom in China has always been horrendous, but now it’s officially considered to be the worst in the world, according to the most recent Freedom on the Net study from Freedom House. The American organization ranked China above Iran and Syria in terms of Internet freedom last year, but now the country has fallen to dead last after a year of constant censorship and efforts to crack down on any kind of anti-government content or news that puts China in a bad light, as well as invasive Internet laws.
