The OpenNet Initiative and Freedom on the Net have identified several countries that restrict social media

Given your understanding of the governments of Syria, Iran and China explain why these countries are identified as being the most aggressive in their restrictions.
What will be an ideal response?


Answer: China is an open economy but not an open political system and thus seeks to reduce public dissension and criticism of its policies. Iran is a theocracy and seeks to control behavior according to Sharia Law. Syria's political dissent with the regime has devolved into a protracted civil war. To control public dissension the government aggressively targets social media users.
