<div>Cheers John! Thanks for the interesting info. The number of Government requests is quite marveling. And the thought of blocking certain content/services, is certainly an issue of great debate i.e. how it is done and why as well as what value it has and what it means to the nature/use and/or value of the Internet.</div>

<br>So anyway, when Google complies with Govt requests, it means that when users in Kenya search for e.g. kenyan-hate-speech related content they wont see that; but if the same Kenyan does the same search from the US territory, they can see the very hate-speech that has been blocked within the Kenyan territory...<br>
