Digital Rights of the Globe

One interactive map, every country. This project brings together the entire Digital Rights Atlas series, all 195 countries and territories answering the same twenty questions on data privacy, artificial intelligence, surveillance, and free expression online.

Click any country on the world map to open its flyers, or use the compare tool to line up answers from up to ten countries side by side. Built from real statutes, official regulator guidance, and reporting from groups such as Freedom House, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and ARTICLE19, so you can compare what is protected on paper against what actually happens in practice.

Content last verified: September 5, 2026. Laws and enforcement patterns shift — always confirm current status before relying on this for a legal decision.
