New Internet freedom report ranks Estonia first, Iran last
- guard-of-terra 16y agoWhere is the data we can feed on? Didn't see any links or tables. Australia is green and Russia is "blocking the Internet". The sad thing, the more you abuse the words like freedom, the less they actually mean. And you no longer can cry wolf when you need to.

- guard-of-terra 16y agoThe actual report seems to be well-written and knowledgeable, but does not reveal how they assign points.
- Timothee 16y agoThis seems to answer some of your questions: http://www.freedomhouse.org/images/File/FotN/MethodologyandChecklistofQuestions.pdf http://www.freedomhouse.org/images/File/FotN/MethodologyandC... edit: huge table with points: http://www.freedomhouse.org/images/File/FotN/MainScoreTable.pdf http://www.freedomhouse.org/images/File/FotN/MainScoreTable....
- guard-of-terra 16y agoThanks. Is there a huge table with points somewhere?
- guard-of-terra 16y agoThis huge table of point isn't broken by subcategory. So we don't know how much country was punished for flaky phone lines and how much - for seizing .com domains, for example.
- Timothee 16y agoThis is where the report comes from apparently: http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=664 http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=664 I would have been interested in seeing France ranked in there. Reporters without Borders put France "under surveillance" in part due to the HADOPI law on copyright (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HADOPI_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HADOPI_law ) which, amongst other things, can lead to Internet access being suspended.
