Transparency Report

This tool provides information about traffic to our services around the world. Each graph shows historic traff ic patterns for a given country/region

and service. You may select a country/region and then choose a service to view each respective graph. Graphs are updated as data are

collected, normalized, and scaled in units of 0 to 100. By showing outages, this tool visual izes disruptions in the free flow of information, whether

i t's a government blocking information or a cable being cut.
