Exploring Internet censorship through OONI data

OONI, or the Open Observatory of Network Interference, is a global community measuring Internet censorship since 2012. Through our free and open source apps, called OONI Probe, hundreds of thousands of users in almost every country around the world have contributed millions of network measurements, shedding light on cases of Internet censorship worldwide.

In 2018, the Mozilla Open Source Support (MOSS) program funded the development of OONI Explorer, a web based platform that enables you to explore and download OONI data. Now, OONI measurements collected from around the world are published on OONI Explorer in real-time, enabling the internet freedom community to track censorship events in real-time.

Through this workshop, participants will learn how to use OONI Explorer to investigate and discover evidence of Internet censorship worldwide.


What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:

.

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

We would like to invite all participants to join us on our community channels to collaborate on decentralised investigations into network interference globally.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

We will tailor the workshop based on the number, background, and interests of the participants. If fewer participants attend, we can make the session more hands-on and direct, while if there is a larger number of participants, we might have to only pick a few case studies from the participants.

Arturo founded the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) in 2011 and has since served as its Project Lead and core engineer.
