Understanding the Internet for Public Good

The internet is critical infrastructure that affects everyone. Yet comprehensive data about its health, security, and environmental impact remains scattered and inaccessible.

DoWatch aims to change that. We perform continuous, ethical scanning of global internet infrastructure to build a comprehensive picture of how the web works, what technologies power it, and how we can make it better.

Data available upon request for verified journalists, government agencies, and law enforcement from select jurisdictions.
