FSNN. Free Speech News Network
Decentralized news aggregation for free speech. FSNN exists so that no single gatekeeper controls the narrative.
Visit fsnn.netPurpose
Defending the first principle.
FSNN starts from a simple belief: a free society depends on being able to speak, question, create and dissent without fear of censorship.
Free speech isn't a partisan issue, it's a human one. Around the world journalists are jailed, activists are silenced and ordinary people are harassed for speaking their minds. FSNN collects credible sources and supports a decentralized news ecosystem, and it sits beside BSTY in the GlobalBoost Freedom Stack for the same reason: open infrastructure that nobody can switch off.

The Freedom Index
See where speech is free.
FSNN's World Freedom Index is an interactive map built on live data from Our World in Data and the Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index. It scores every country from 0 to 10 and sorts it into one of four types of government. You can filter by type, switch between a world view and US states, and pick any country to see its score.
Full democracy
8.01 – 10
Flawed democracy
6.01 – 8.00
Hybrid regime
4.01 – 6.00
Authoritarian
0 – 4.00
Why it matters: press freedom and free expression follow the health of democratic institutions. Putting the map next to the news lets readers see each story in its global context.
