If Internet has enemies it must has friends, for example, countries that have not been using any filtering software, have not been spying on its own citizens or citizens of other countries. Is that possible? Or Internet has no friends at all?

I propose that the article be split into separate pages by continent, in a somewhat similar fashion to Freedom of religion by country. The article size is at 452014 bytes. FoxyGrampa75 ( talk) 23:52, 14 April 2019 (UTC) reply

I think there's a clear consensus for this. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 00:27, 15 April 2019 (UTC) reply

It seems that there is consensus, so I'm going to be bold and start the split. Rob3512 _chat? ^{what I did} 14:09, 24 April 2019 (UTC) reply
