"Ranking Digital Rights’ inaugural Corporate Accountability Index evaluates 16 of the world’s most powerful Internet and telecommunications companies on their commitments, policies, and practices that affect users’ freedom of expression and privacy. By opening the door for greater corporate transparency and public scrutiny of business practices, the Index encourages companies to do a better job of respecting their users’ rights around the globe [...] Highlights: There are no “winners.” Even companies in the lead are falling short. Across the board, companies need to improve their disclosure of policies and practices that affect users’ freedom of expression and privacy, as well as their commitments to these human rights. Only six companies scored at least 50 percent of the total possible points. The highest score was only 65 percent." (Executive summary)
