Yes information on the internet is distorted due to censorship, political and religious suppression and intimidation, and poverty. Major holes in coverage include Cuba and North Korea, with extremely limited access and poverty; the People Republic of China, poverty and political intimidation; Saudi Arabia, religious intimidation, Palestine, poverty and political and religious intimidation; and most of Africa, India and Indonesia, poverty.
