Date Published: Oct 17, 2024

Abstract: The Freedom on the Net report, released yesterday, found that global internet freedom “declined for the 14th consecutive year” in the 72 countries covered by the report, which covers 86.7 percent of the world’s internet users. It stated that just 17 percent of the world’s internet users now live in countries with a “free” internet.

Specifically, it found that Myanmar had fallen to the bottom of the ranking, where it now sits alongside China. Both nations received a total score of just 9 out of 100 on three broad categories: obstacles to internet access, limits on content, and violations of user rights. The report noted that it was the first time in a decade that China had “shared its designation as the world’s worst environment for internet freedom with a second country.”
