All: if you're about to comment in this thread, please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and make sure your post is in the intended spirit of the site. If it isn't, please edit it until it is; or simply remember that the internet is usually wrong and refrain from posting.

The intended spirit is curious, respectful conversation in which we learn from each other. Yes, that is hard when emotions run strong, but hard != impossible, and it's what the site rules ask: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Reporters Without Borders gathers data and produces some interesting graphics. They recently released their World Press Freedom Index

edit: they appear to keep a list of mirrored news sites to circumvent censorship

(was hoping they had data available for their index, but have not found it yet)

---

edit: the index has a download button in the bar at the top of the map

https://rsf.org/en/index

It does not provide source data, just the calculated results presented. There is also a methodology link, which points to different pages, depending on the year selected

@dang -- you're not going to get the polite, respectful conversation on this topic that I think you're hoping for. Instead, you're going to get criticisms on the legitimacy of each organization involved in this conflict. I don't understand why you even want this topic on HackerNews.
