Summary:

In its first full "Internet Health Report," the nonprofit combines research and stories to examine five main issues: privacy and security, openness, digital inclusion, web literacy, and decentralization. "It's really a look at human life on the internet," says Mark Surman, the executive director of the Mozilla Foundation.

 

Mozilla notes that the state of the internet isn't all bad; more people are connecting to it than ever, it's becoming cheaper for them to do so, and their data is more likely to be encrypted. In other areas though, things are getting worse. State-sanctioned internet censorship has become more widespread, online harassment has grown more severe, and the companies that control the internet largely don't reflect the diversity of their users.
