In this sixth survey of the web, the WAWG index group average dropped by 6.5 percent from February, 2006. Of the fourteen items tracked, 10 were down, 4 were up, and 0 were unchanged. The cumulative change for the index is up 50 percent.
Despite the overall decrease for the month, “election fraud†and “protected corporate power†continue their upward trend averaging a 19 percent increase. On the other hand, using “scapegoats as a unifying cause”, “media control” and “obsession with national security” have consistently been decreasing and averaged an 18 percent drop. The drop for national security seems odd after all the fuss over Dubai Ports World.
