Most people in countries with unrestricted Internet access take it for granted, forgetting that many countries around the world have censored, limited or no Internet access — even though it's a human right, according to the United Nations.

This doesn't mean citizens don't understand and advocate for their right, though. Twitter was blocked in Turkey on Thursday, after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pledged to "eradicate" the platform — often known to help give voices to the voiceless — for spreading what he called false information. But Twitter users in Turkey are getting around the ban through a variety of solutions and criticizing it via tweets.

According to a new report from Pew Research Center, data shows that people in emerging nations around the world want freedom on the Internet. Youth are especially opposed to censorship.

The following chart, created by Statista, shows 24 countries with emerging or developing economies, and the percentage of people in each who stress the importance of uncensored Internet. Pew conducted 21,847 face-to-face interviews in 2013 to compile this data.

It's interesting to note that in Venezuela, which has seen intense and sometimes violent demonstrations against the government over the past several weeks, 89% of participants advocated for Internet freedom.
