										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The “free and open internet is under attack in several countries”, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told the BBC. Mr Pichai said many countries were restricting, or trying to restrict, the flow of information, and that the idea of a “free and open internet” was being taken for granted. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“In each country now there is a debate about what speech is OK and what should be allowed.. In some ways I think we pull back from the bigger picture that many countries around the world are restricting the flow of information and drawing much more rigid boundaries,” he said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Google chief urged “countries with strong democratic traditions and values” to stand up against the potential fragmenting of the internet. </span></p>
