Purpose
The index records how laws, government action, platform controls, surveillance, and institutional oversight affect people who use the internet.
About the index
Independent research on freedom online.
The Internet Freedom Index is published by DigitalPlat Foundation, Inc., an independent U.S. IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity.

We approach this work as an American civil-society organization. The scoring rules draw on freedom of expression, privacy, due process, open access, and accountable government.
