The GNI assessment process looked at more companies, and more types of companies, than ever before, including Internet companies, telecommunications network operators, and equipment vendors. The 2018/2019 public assessment report shows how these companies from different segments of the ICT sector can commit to a common set of fundamental freedom of expression and privacy principles, grounded in international human rights law and commitments to accountability, collaboration, shared learning, and public policy.

ABOUT THE GLOBAL NETWORK INITIATIVE
The Global Network Initiative (GNI) was launched in 2008. Our mission is to protect and advance freedom of expression and privacy rights in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector by setting a global standard for responsible decision making and serving as a multistakeholder voice in the face of government restrictions and demands. GNI members include ICT companies, civil society organizations (including human rights and press freedom groups), academics and academic institutions, and investors from around the world.
