The Web Index is the first measure of the web’s contribution to social, economic and political progress, studying 86 countries across the world. Shining a light on issues from surveillance and censorship, to net neutrality and violence against women online, it provides data on the use of the web and its impact on people’s lives. Since its launch, the Web Index has become established as a reference point for governments and policymakers around the world, holding governments accountable and driving public debate.
