The world’s largest Internet population got a lot bigger in the past year, jumping 20,3 percent to 450 million–that’s more than a third of the country’s population of 1.3 billion.

Of course, that massive number of users aren’t able to access the whole of the Internet. The Chinese government has been notoriously hard-lined in its censorship of those sites it deems a threat. In the past year, the government has shut down more than 60,000 sites and removed more than 350 million pieces of content deemed pornographic.

A number of high profile America sites including Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have been blocked as well. According to Chinese authorities, VoIP service Skype is next on the list.
