In the latest Freedom House report Freedom on the Net 2013, is given a Free rating for Internet freedom, but only Partly Free for press freedom (as per a different report)

In the latest Freedom House report Freedom on the Net 2013, is given a Free rating for Internet freedom, but only Partly Free for press freedom (as per a different report).  The only good news, such as it is, is that aside from the Baltic States, it is ahead of all former Soviet republics except for Georgia.

From the reportFreedom on the Net measures the level of internet and digital media freedom in 60 countries. Each country receives a numerical score from 0 (the most free) to 100 (the least free), which serves as the basis for an internet freedom status designation of Free (0-30 points),  Partly Free (31-60 points), or Not Free (61-100 points).

Ratings are determined through an examination of three broad categories:

Obstacles to Access: assesses infrastructural and economic barriers to access; governmental efforts to block specific applications or technologies; and legal, regulatory, and ownership control over internet and mobile phone access providers.

Limits on Content: examines filtering and blocking of websites; other forms of censorship and self-censorship; manipulation of content; the diversity of online news media; and usage of digital media for social and political activism.

Violations of User Rights: measures legal protections and restrictions on online activity; surveillance; privacy; and repercussions for online activity, such as legal prosecution, imprisonment, physical attacks, or other forms of harassment.
