"OONI data is the world's largest open dataset on internet censorship: billions of measurements collected across tens of thousands of networks from 245 countries and territories since 2012. OONI's data exists because people around the world run OONI Probe and contribute measurements from the networks that they are connected to. Every new measurement adds to a shared public record.
Both its scale and methodology contribute to OONI's impact. Internet censorship often works by making interference hard to see. It can make a blocked website look broken, a throttled app look unreliable, or a shutdown look like a technical failure. OONI helps expose these tactics through open measurement methodologies, peer review, expert feedback, and comparison against control measurements, so that censorship claims can be tested, challenged, and verified.
To make this dataset user-friendly, OONI launched thematic pages in OONI Explorer focusing on the areas most frequently targeted: social media and messaging apps, news media, and circumvention tools. Each page includes short reports, longer research reports, and charts with the latest OONI data."

@Gargron That's because @EUCommission is headed by a #cyberfascist #TechIlliterate known as #Zensursula which is famous for insulting everyone able to change #DNS settings as "[...] hardened pedo-criminal [...]" and abused CSA victims so hard for her propaganda full of lies that said victims had to unite as @MOGiS just to tell her to 'Shut up' and stop abusing them as a cludge to push for #InternetCensorship.
She's the kind of unapologetic liar you'd have to fact check every word in real time!
If you need some overview on how censorship is conducted or how it can be measured, here's our comprehensive paper on it:

We also summarized datasets and measurement platforms as well as selected human aspects.

Paper 2/2:
I know the idea is rather trivial but during Christmas I played around with IoT devices and how they can be used for censorship circumvention and time-decoupled covert transmissions.

Internet censorship is the new frontier in the crackdown on reproductive rights
Our joint report with @ooni analyzes the systemic blocking of Women on Web.
Key technical takeaways:
🔒 Verified domain blocking has more than doubled since 2019. And there are more dubious signals to be found
🛠️ Censorship hidden as "connection timed out" errors.
🇪🇺 This isn't just happening in autocracies—it's happening inside the EU (Spain).

@KrissyKat I guess teaching kids to use Tor Browser is now a necessity in the USA!
Iran implements a tiered internet system, granting web access to select groups through a paid service called Internet-Pro
A tiered system of connectivity has emerged in Iran, where a small number of users maintain access to the web while the vast majority remain offline.
