Measured over 10 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 198 interactions against 92K followers, an engagement rate of 0.214%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% of 3,899 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 6.1K times each, and 3.26% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.58% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video, 40% are part of a thread and 60% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 397 interactions, about 2.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #dissent, #privacy, #privacysupreme2026.

Compared with accounts its own size
Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF)'s engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 79% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.214%, Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.081% to 0.439%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

IFF has written to the Union Home Secretary and the Census Commissioner over the household survey notified four days ago. Serial numbers 36 to 40 ask for mobile, Aadhaar, voter ID and passport numbers, not whether you have them, unlike serial number 40, which only asks about availability of a driving license. IFF supports enumerating caste for substantive equality. But pairing Aadhaar numbers with religion and caste sits against the Aadhaar Act's bar on profiling, and the questionnaire itself remains unpublished. We are not opposed to the census. We want it conducted in a way that earns public trust.

He was having coffee, alone. A stranger's smart glasses recorded him without consent, and the clip became a reel with lakhs of views. Ray-Ban Meta glasses are designed to look like ordinary eyewear, so you'd never know you're being filmed. When our client complained, Meta said it didn't violate community standards. We've sent legal notices to the creator and to Meta. Covert surveillance isn't a design flaw, it's the product.

The Union Government’s 40-question Household Schedule for Census 2027 asks for Aadhaar, mobile number, Voter ID, passport number, driving-licence status, total bank accounts and COVID-19 vaccination details. It will also collect caste, religion, language and other sensitive demographic information. IFF has written to the Union Home Secretary and Registrar General seeking deletion of these identity-linked fields or clear safeguards around their use. (1/8) Read More: https://t.co/ZF2FreGrrt

The Department of Telecommunications is now requiring mandatory biometric authentication for SIM cards. This biometric process will exclude millions, most often the vulnerable, and create another database of our faces. All of this is being done to limit mobile connections to nine per person, but it will leave many families without even one

NIXI has now given a third explanation for suspending https://t.co/6D4RZacQWP. First it was “Invalid WHOIS”. Then a “critical keyword”. Now, three weeks into the suspension, it says “Sansad” is a reserved term for Constitutional Authorities. But NIXI’s own reserved names list does not reserve “sansad” as a term, and https://t.co/6D4RZacQWP is not on it. (1/8) Read More: https://t.co/BSrSHIC1hf

A new DoT regime makes live biometric verification mandatory for getting, replacing, updating or even surrendering a SIM. Aadhaar holders must use Aadhaar e-KYC, while a new Digital Intelligence Platform will circulate subscribers’ representative images between telecom operators to enforce a cap on connections. IFF believes this creates a nationwide biometric surveillance infrastructure without adequate legal safeguards. (1/7) Read More: https://t.co/NkQnGxwWdW

At the Jantar Mantar protests, Delhi Police deployed the Ikshana surveillance van equipped with facial recognition technology. Eight cameras mounted on a telescopic mast provided a 360-degree view while facial recognition software reportedly matched faces against an undisclosed database.

Privacy Supreme 2026, nine years since Puttaswamy, and a room full of people who showed up to ask the right questions, not just accept the easy answers. From privacy and politics to the young Indians rewriting what accountability looks like, to the real cost of the data centres powering our digital lives, every conversation reminded us why this gathering matters. Thank you to our speakers, our partners at @thewire_in , and everyone who filled that room and stayed till the very end. This one was special. See you next year #PrivacySupreme2026 #IFF #DigitalRights

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed making Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems mandatory for specified vehicles. V2V can improve road safety by allowing vehicles to exchange information such as speed, position and direction to prevent collisions. But an always-on system can also create a new infrastructure for tracking and surveillance. (1/5) Read More: https://t.co/YckNaxIuq6

Join us for a crucial conversation on how the state watches, tracks, and profiles protesters. From facial recognition to CCTV networks, surveillance tech shaped the #studentprotests, what does that mean for #privacy and #dissent? @internetfreedom, @najarjustice and @no2uid are organising a webinar to unpack the architecture of state surveillance during student protests, its implications for our rights, and how we can push back. Speakers: Usha Ramanathan, @apar1984, @Aditi_muses & @digitaldutta Friday, 28th August, 6:30-8:00pm IST Registration Link : https://t.co/fkVoCxuXtC #surveillance #digitalrights

- What is Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF)'s engagement rate on X?
- Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) (@internetfreedom) has an engagement rate of 0.214%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 92,318 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.214%, Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @internetfreedom have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @internetfreedom post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.97 posts per day across the measured window.
