Map colours
The colours of three categories - "substantial" "selective" and "Not classified / no data" are indistinguishable. -- 88.253.199.2 (talk) 04:38, 6 December 2015.


 * Really? Do others see this same issue? What colors would work better?


 * There aren't very many countries displayed as "substantial" (mostly the island countries of SE Asia and the Pacific). There are even fewer countries that are displayed as "not classified / no data" (just Antarctica and several small island states).

Germany
Germany should be changed from green to yellow, because we have a new telecommunications data retention law in germany. (http://www.bgbl.de/xaver/bgbl/start.xav?startbk=Bundesanzeiger_BGBl&jumpTo=bgbl115s2218.pdf). The law includes the long term storage of GSM cell tower data for movement tracking. --DerElektriker (talk) 05:51, 11 January 2016‎


 * A better place to make such requests is Talk:Internet censorship and surveillance by country or Talk:Internet censorship in Germany. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 12:10, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

United States
The combination of censorship and surveillance is misleading in certain cases like the United States. While Internet surveillance is a problem in the US, the map suggests that US Internet censorship is on par with China, Russia, North Korea, etc. This is also likely to affect other countries; for instance, Internet censorship is problematic in South Korea, but not on the same level as North Korea or China. --Danerobe (talk) 06:49, 28 November 2016‎
