Measure internet censorship
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
OONI Probe lets users measure internet censorship and network blocking worldwide.
OONI Probe is a tool for contributing to the world's largest open dataset on internet censorship. It detects blocked websites, measures network speed via the NDT test in collaboration with M-Lab, and checks if apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram are blocked. Available as a command-line tool for Linux and macOS.
What commenters are saying
Commenters split on whether OONI's focus on network-level blocking misses the more pervasive censorship by social media platforms and moderators. Some argue platform moderation is a different form of censorship, while others contend that government censorship (e.g., in Iran) is far worse. A few point out that fully unmoderated spaces are undesirable, but note that platform moderation can suppress political stories (e.g., the Hunter Biden laptop story).
