In light of the Wire’s removal of its Tek Fog stories pending an internal investigation, we’ve updated the #FreedomOnTheNet 2022 India report to add additional context and clarify those stories did not impact India’s score. (1/3)
Internet freedom in India remains ranked “Partly Free.” The score improved in 2022 as efforts to bridge digital divides yielded results. Still, misinformation in India is frequently shared online, and users face the risk of online harassment. (2/3) freedomhouse.org/country/india/…
The Wire’s 2022 Tek Fog stories did not factor into India’s #FreedomInTheWorld status change from “Free” to “Partly Free” in 2021, a full year prior. The downgrade was due to the govt's crackdown on civil society and discrimination against Muslims. (3/3) freedomhouse.org/country/india/…

🇹🇭 New Report with @freedomhouse: #FreedomOnTheNet - Internet Freedom Remains under Threat in Thailand! 🚨 The Thai govt still controls the Internet to silence those who bravely speak #Truth to Power! 👉Read @freedomonthenet report bit.ly/3AEA5nK #WhatsHappenigInThailand
🌐In the #FreedomOnTheNet 2021 report, Thailand scored 36/100, placing it in the same category as highly repressive regimes in China or Belarus, where the internet is "NOT FREE". The users were arrested, criminally charged, or subjected to targeted harassment. #MyUniverse #ITZY
👉Are we truly living in a Democracy when the Thai govt uses a whole array of draconian laws and regulations, #LeseMajeste #ComputerCrimeAct to restrict #FreeSpeech & #MediaFreedom - even at times of the #COVID19 pandemic when access to info helps save lives? #LisaMoneyDance
