Internet in Azerbaijan

Internet in Azerbaijan is vulnerable to government monitoring and censorship.[1] The ruling Aliyev family owns two of the three largest mobile operators in Azerbaijan.[1] The ownership of the third large mobile operator is unknown, as it registered to an offshore company.[1] The authoritarian regime in Azerbaijan has a history of blocking websites that criticize the government.[1]

According to the government, 85% of the population was online in 2013.[2]
