#ooniprobe — Public Fediverse posts

❗️Yesterday, #Gabon started blocking access to social media platforms

We just published a report documenting the blocking of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in Gabon based on OONI data: https://explorer.ooni.org/findings/340845567300

OONI data suggests that the blocks are implemented by means of DNS interference, as DNS queries return NXDOMAIN errors.

We thank community members in Gabon for contributing measurements 🙏

🎉 Today marks 9 years since we launched the OONI Probe Mobile App!

Its launch led to a major increase in global OONI measurement coverage 🐙✨

Warm thanks to everyone running OONI Probe and contributing to the world’s largest open dataset on internet censorship 🙏❤️

In June, our friends at @tbp (The Bachchao Project) did an amazing job in updating the India test list to improve website censorship monitoring in India. 🐙

Learn about their efforts, and consider improving the test list for your country too!

How to protect the OONI dataset from attacks, while preserving the privacy of OONI Probe users?

In our latest blog post, we outline some of the key requirements for OONI's anonymous credential system: https://ooni.org/post/2025-requirements-for-oonis-anonymous-credentials/

#AnonymousCredentials #ooniprobe #ooni

We are excited to share that we are designing & implementing anonymous credentials within OONI Probe to protect and increase trust in OONI data. 🐙🛡️

Today, elections began in #Russia.

But leading up to the election, OONI data shows that ISPs in Russia were already blocking access to a variety of different content -- including news media and circumvention tool websites.

Thanks to OONI Probe users, more than 464 million network measurements have been collected from 239 countries & territories since 2012. 💫 🐙 💫

Many of these measurements contain evidence of Internet censorship.

We thank all OONI Probe users in Azerbaijan for contributing measurements, making this study possible. ❤️ 🐙

Report: https://ooni.org/post/2021-azerbaijan/

#ooni #ooniprobe #oonidata #azerbaijan #censorship #report

We analyzed OONI measurements collected from Azerbaijan between January 2020 to May 2021.

Overall, we observed that censorship varies from network to network in Azerbaijan, as different ISPs block different websites and apps at different moments in time.

Amid the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, ISPs in Azerbaijan attempted to block Tor and Psiphon.

However, both attempts appear to have been ineffective, as these tools have built-in circumvention fallback options.

Tor Metrics also show a spike in usage during this period.

#ooni #ooniprobe #oonidata #azerbaijan #censorship #report #tor #psiphon

Independent news media and circumvention tool sites presented HTTP failures caused by connection timeouts, suggesting the use of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) in Azerbaijan.

Both WhatsApp & Telegram presented signs of TLS level interference in Azerbaijan amid the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.

Our report with Azerbaijan Internet Watch shares OONI data on:

• Blocking of news media & circumvention tool sites

Now that OONI Probe Desktop & Mobile support automated testing, they're contributing towards the largest volume of global measurements! 🎉

However, legacy-probe (which will soon no longer work) still accounts for a relatively big percentage of measurements.

If you're running legacy ooniprobe, please switch over to OONI Probe CLI: https://ooni.org/install/cli 🙏
