Africa and South America are not leading the way in internet freedom, they just dont have the ability or dont care enough to censor the internet.
Whoever put Venezuela as a country with no internet censorship has no clue and totally invalidates the whole graph.

I don’t think the Tunisian revolution should be automatically assumed to have result in internet freedom?
How is this graph even valid? Reporters without Borders currently has Cuba and Venezuela on its “cyber watchlist” for censorship. http://knightcenter.utexas.edu/blog/cuba-venezuela-reporters-without-borders-cyber-censorship-watch-list

It’s amazing to see that Africa and South America are leading the way in internet freedom, where the US and mush of Europe, who pride themselves on democratic freedom, are actually part of the problem with (pending) legislation to block websites for “national security” and/or combating online piracy purposes. The internet, by it’s very nature, should always be free of censorship.
