Freedom of speech isn't without its consequences, but it's far better than the alternative of having no choice in how you speak or think.

Suggestions: Top Ten Most Uncensored Countries in the World

Not gonna lie, I never even heard of Eritrea, so I was quite surprised to hear that it was number one instead of North Korea.

Respect freedom. It’s precious.

Eritrea is so heavily censored most people don’t even know it’s that heavily censored.

Eritrea is known as the "North Korea of Africa." It's so heavily censored that getting any photos or video footage out of the country is nigh impossible. A lot of activists working outside of Eritrea haven't seen ANY footage or photos of Eritrea for years, so they don't even know what's going on. I remember watching a documentary where one activist was blown away when someone managed to send 10 seconds of very grainy video footage from a smuggled in mobile phone.

In regards of censorship.It's not only about dictatorship and its policy or political wing but it's about freedom of speech for all human being.

Come on Watchmojo! You guys knew that Japan is the most censored country . They censored and blurred almost everything beautiful part of their videos👀

Glad i was born in Scotland UK, wouldn't want to live in North Korea.

Would rather be non-existent than live in these countries Life with little to no freedom is no life

Boy am I glad I was born in the United States. I can't imagine how terrible it would be not enjoying my freedoms and I feel terrible for the people in these countries who don't have them.

North Korea. Saudi Arabia. Republic of China.

Eritrea: *I'm gonna take my father's footsteps to a another level!*

Ireland would be on this list if it was made before the 1990s, where anything that criticised the Church or mentioned homosexuality, birth-control, abortion, drugs or pre-marital sex, even in a neutral light, was banned. Such works censored included all the Monty Python movies and the Catcher in the Rye.

freedom of speech is important. Even if it goes against your views, and that of the government. "Misinformation" is not a good enough excuse to censor and is a violation of freedom of speech. thats just a nitpick at my own country, but there is many other countries besides these top ten that censor. Sometimes blatantly, or by omission.

Keep it up on your work and this video and channel

United states should be on this to but its so censored it didnt make the list

It may be 162nd on the trustful and respected Wikipedia Democracy Index, but at least Turkmenistan is 4th on the Watchmojo Top 10 Most Censored Countries in the World. I’m so proud (?) of this country.

Totally fantastic video,watch mojo of censorship in countries in the world,very amazing job too.

Makes us realize how good we have it in Canada 🇨🇦 and the US 🇺🇸

The list here were countries that are all around not considered to be democracies. One country that surprised me by its strict internet censorship laws when I lived there was South Korea. Seemingly innocuous sites are blocked and when I signed up for a NateOn account, I had to fill in my foreign ID number, I'm guessing so the government could keep tabs on its residents and citizens

I am very happy that I live in the United States because I can use the Internet as much as I want!

Thanks you for your video and channel

WM: Top 10 CENSORED COUNTRY Indonesia: Thank God i am NOT ON THAT LIST

i live in iran🙌 Literally rn am using vpn to watch this video😂😂

Hey Mojo i think you missed Burma.

Surprised to see North Korea at no 2. I thought it would be on top

liam doesnt want to live in iraq

10 - Cuba 9 - Equatorial Guinea 8 - Iran 7 - Vietnam 6 - China 5 - Ethiopia 4 - Turkmenistan 3 - Saudi Arabia 2 - North Korea 1 - Eritrea

Nice we made it twice to the list.

I ain’t gonna lie, I thought that the phone in the thumbnail was a razor to give Kim that fresh cut for a split second.

Suggestion: Top 10 real-life people who became mass murderers.

North Korea, China then Cuba to me are the worst. Cheers to Canada!

Interesting how some ppl want to make us just like those countries. “How’s that” you ask? Simply state your own opinion against the status quo and watch the fireworks….

Sestra traveled to one of these countries to help (she is a lawyer). My moeder (she is from Nederland) always supporting sestra to do more for these people.

Love how the Turkmen president holds the dog by his neck skin but Putin instantly goes for a softer approach to holding him, almost makes you wonder who's values are better haha

Suggestion: Top 10 real-life teenagers who committed crimes in USA.

Thank my lucky star I was born in Sweden. Personal freedom, living wages, free healthcare/school and childcare.

You need to update this to include Turdeau’s Canada…

Wow I'm shocked. North Korea wasn't _#1???_

It’s a shame that they’re rights are being infringed upon.

I am grateful I live in America. This is from someone who was born in Nigeria

About Iranian parliament's suppressive bill: While the exact details of the bill is KEPT secret, one expression is repeatedly stated by the authorities, since its legislation in 28 July 2021 so far: "From the day that the bill comes under operation, popular foreign services have a 4-month deadline to negotiate with the authorities to have a branch inside the country, otherwise they would be gradually blocked." This time, they are affirmed on BLOCKAGE instead on simply CENSORSHIP (hence the quotes on some of the parliamentary reps' social pages on Twitter), and per their definition of "popular foreign services", even Google services could have such a fate. They have revealed domestic counterparts for most of the services. (Which other country is famous for such this procedure? China) And if someone think that they haven't the technical knowledge or foundation for implement such barrier, it could simply be provided by PRC government per the recent Iran-China 25-year negotiations. These all mean that in a near future, Iran can join the club of the countries that have cut the border gateways almost completely and the network traffic is circuiting completely inside the country, after North Korea. So, it's more than a curb -- maybe a PURGE. (Services such as KZfaq and Twitter are already blocked in Iran, and we have to use VPNs for accessing them.)

When Fidel Castro died and his brother Raul Castro took over, Cuba saw a little more freedom than before. But when Raul retired in 2021 as First Secretary of the CPC and President Miguel Diaz-Canel succeeded him in that position, it went right back to Fidel's time in power. Remember: In communist countries that have a president, the General/First Secretary has the power, not the President. It's a ceremonial post.

Everyone knew that north korea will be in top 3 for sure

i totally disagree, Sudan must be number 1 on the list

Algeria should be included. Journalists are thrown to jail everyday and getting at least 3 to 5 years of prison because they denounced the government corruption, without mentioning people that are conducted to jail as well because of their Facebook posts that are strictly and delicately unearthed by gouvernement recruits.

The Green M&M can't get me wood anymore, you call this freedom?

When north korea isnt no 1😳

The Philippines should have been an Honorable Mention.

Honorable Mentions: - Venezuela - Russia - Uruguay (my country, i know my country)

I assumed North Korea would've been #1 followed by China or Russia with #2. I'm surprised Eritrea was #1.

Love yourself first and most Believe in yourself Quitters never win and winners never quit Don't give up and never give in Ignore those who try to discourage you Hang on to your dreams Take control of own destiny

Censorship is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Japan. Hard to find uncensored video at times. 😂

I ❤️ this video and channel

Belarus should be top 10 easily

Canada and Australia. Austria and Germany.

Interesting

Where’s Belarus?

I agree 👍

North Korea didn't make it on #1 on the list. BTW, At least other countries like Mexico, Colombia, Japan, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Brazil, Germany, etc. are uncensored for the most part.

Was surprised that North Korea was in number 2!!! (sorry for the spoiler).

All 10 countries I DON'T want to live in.

ngl, i dont know where eritrea is , id assume africa, but i was also honestly expecting north korea or china to be number 1...

Where's Pain's Hidden Rain Village or Amegakure? Everything is censored by Nagato.

Censorship is born out of fear. What are these, and other countries, so afraid of?

Lol “the situation in china is complex” hahaha

WatchMojo! -1999999999 social credits! You dont put china below number 1! To the execution bus with you! 🤣

Nobody gonna mention the US and Canada in that bunch? Or are we just gonna forget that they like to tell you your opinion is wrong and then prosecute you for it?

USA working hard to be number 1 (mainstream media, social media, corporate owned politicians)

I sure feel bad for these people in these countries

Where's Malaysia?

Suggestion: Top 10 best Superman-inspired characters of all time.

Ah, seeing iran on number 8 gave me hopes to live here

USA will be on here soon

Use VPN for everyone out in such contries

Yet here in America people complain about the most stupid things that aren't really that important & swear this is the worst place ever.

Eretria is so censored it’s the first time am hearing about the damn country lol

Haven’t watched yet but I already know Canada and US are number 1&2

Turkey is also deserving to be in this list. Talking abouth anything against president you can get arrested even in Facebook comment etc. Critisizing gowerment also crime because there is law (making citisens to provacate to Gowerment) I cant watch +18 without VPN. In TV alcohols are blurred ,showing any sexuality causing punish .

6. This is why when going on vacation there, I have to bring my DS Lite & New 3DS XL there to keep me busy especially when staying for around one month. Too bad that Covid19 prevented us from going there especially that goddamn Omicron variant. Without the usage of Google or KZfaq in most areas of China, it fucking sucks.

I think Iran should be higher on the list

I'm a Saudi and I don't think it's true that government criticism is banned in the internet like I have access to every news even anti Saudi news like Aljazeera. According to the basic system of government in SA, freedom of speech is limited when it comes to national security and religion, which makes sense to me if you ask me. As far as I know the only thing banned from the internet in Saudi Arabia is pornography.

I thought that African dude from Equatorial Guinea was Kevin Hart

Yeah I am iranian :)

Why is Russia not even on the list? It’s definitely in the top 5 especially now

Where's China? are you kidding me?

Either Watchmojo is pandering to China by not making them first, or numbers 5-1 really are that much worse. The latter certainly is a scary thought.

(4:37) you know "craps" going down when CHINA is only at #6 :(

The US should have been on this list...

wtf, where is Russia??

Suggestion: Top 20 vigilante characters who are inspired by the Batman.

I love the my country the United States because we rarely censored things and media

1984 the top 10 list

It's strange that Israel is not on this list even though they censored anything related to Palestine or criticizing Israel.

in the list are missing USA

TIL about a country called Eritrea
