Measure internet censorship and contribute to the global open dataset
The Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) invites users to participate in the world's largest open dataset on internet censorship. By installing the OONI Probe application, individuals can actively test their local networks for signs of blocking, including the censorship of websites, messaging apps, and circumvention tools. The project aims to increase transparency by providing verifiable data on network interference globally. Collected measurements are processed and published openly, allowing researchers, human rights activists, and journalists to analyze trends in digital censorship. The tool is designed to be user-friendly and privacy-conscious, ensuring that contributors can help map the state of the internet without compromising their personal security. By running these tests, users contribute to a collective effort to document how and where internet access is restricted, fostering a more informed and open digital environment for everyone.
