The American service Cloudwards has presented an updated Internet Freedom Index for 2026.
Lithuania became the leader with 88 points, while Georgia received 64 points, taking positions in the upper part of the list, but significantly lagging behind the leaders.
Armenia scored 56 points and was in the middle of the ranking, sharing the score with Tajikistan. The gap between Georgia and Armenia was 8 points, which reflects differences in the level of digital freedoms and regulation.
Overall, the region demonstrates a strong difference in indicators: from the relatively free Baltic countries to states with strict restrictions, such as Russia and Iran, which scored only 4 points each.
Against this background, Georgia looks more stable, while Armenia remains in the transition zone between free and restricted Internet space.
