Key Internet Controls 2025

Facebook Twitter Email

To track the different ways in which governments seek to dominate the digital sphere, Freedom House monitors their application of six Key Internet Controls. Select from the drop-down menu in the map below to see where these constraints were observed between June 2024 and May 2025. Freedom House reduced the number of Key Internet Controls tracked in the 2025 edition because of budget constraints.
