I'm very surprised at some stances taken on this map. Only a handful of countries have the censorship badge, whereas reports globally indicate otherwise... I'm thinking of Turkey, but also South Korea, and others...
I think the fight that Tesla got into is rather an other example of businesses, the car dealers, that exist solely because of legal restriction allowing them to exist, not because there is a market need.
