On November 14, 2017 Freedom House published an annual report on Internet freedom around the world. Georgia obtained a score of 24 out of 100 and was assessed as "Free” in terms of Internet freedom. The country’s score improved by 1 point compared to 2016.

Among other key developments, the report covers the cases of brief blocking of video-hosting platform Vimeo, when the government attempted to restrict access to leaked videos featuring Georgian politicians. Despite this blocking incident, the report claims that the Internet remained relatively free from censorship in Georgia, as Internet penetration increased and reached to 50%.
