IODA’s visualizations are considered “experimental”, and the site urges people to use it with caution. IODA - IODA stands for Internet Outage Detection and Analysis, a project from CAIDA, the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis. Censored Planet continously measures reachability to 2,000 websites from more than 95,000 vantage points in 221 countries (a 42-360% increase compared to other measurement platforms). OONI’s raw data is often combined with research from leading academics and practitioners to build up a picture of censorship at specific times, such as this example from August 2018 that provides some detail about South Sudan’s blocking of independent news organizations.Ĭensored Planet - The Censored Planet Observatory uses remote measurement techniques to run remote censorship measurements for thousands of websites. They have been operational for over 5 years, and have a collection of apps run by volunteers to test network conditions where they are. OONI - The Open Observatory of Network Interference is part of the Tor Project, aiming to collect information related to network interference around the world. If you know of a resource we should be including here, let us know via email These are projects that do ongoing monitoring of network outages, and report them to the community.
But how do we know what’s really happening around the world, and how do we decide where our attention is needed the most?īelow is a collection of resources that may help you find out some of this information.
You can see from our overview that there are several methods censors can use to obstruct the Internet, and how there are different ways people can get past these restrictions. Pluggable Transports can help keep people connected, by hiding (obfuscating) network traffic and routing it between devices in ways that make it more difficult to block. Censorship of Internet content is increasing, as more regimes seek to restrict the flow of information to and between their citizens.
