That has nothing really to do with Internet sovereignty (whatever that means).

It has to do with some countries suck more, and some suck less.

Plenty of countries don't block anything. Like military aggression, child mortality, literacy rate, etc., that is one important data point about any country and its government.

If you don't know what "internet sovereignty" means, then how can you possibly claim that something had nothing to do with it?
