The Freedom on the Net 2026 report documents a further global decline in internet freedom. Authors point to authoritarian governments isolating national networks from the global internet, while AI systems and age-verification requirements create new barriers to free access. The findings also highlight growing digital isolation, with commentators warning that censorship tools are spreading beyond autocracies into democratic states.
Why now: The annual Freedom on the Net report has just been released, documenting fresh declines in global internet freedom.
