You forgot Canada with Harper's government which is actively trying to push legislation that would allow the government to spy on internet traffic.

So with Russia that's 4-8 G8 countries I'm pretty sure the other 4 are probably in league with this type of crap.

No way to win.

I don't think Russia needs approval from from G8 to control the internet traffic. I am not from Russia, but from one of the post soviet countries, so I can assure you things are run differently over here. Russia might seem to be one of the most democratic countries (among post soviet countries), but from the inside it is completely another story.
