Tor Project's New Mobile App Alerts You To Internet Surveillance And Censorship

Minimalist · Feb 9, 2017

One of those technologies is the Open Observatory of Network Interference, or OONI. With OONI, Internet users can check to see whether their online activities are being monitored, censored or otherwise interfered with. OONI can tell you if your ISP is throttling Netflix traffic or preventing you from accessing The Pirate Bay. It can also tell a user in China if the Great Firewall is getting in the way of loading a site.

To make it easier to test Internet access with OONI, the Tor Project has just released a new mobile app. It's called ooniprobe, and it's available for both iOS and Android devices.

OONI report released: The State of Internet Censorship in Thailand

The Tor Project announces the release of The State of Internet Censorship in Thailand, a report from a joint research study by Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), Sinar Project, and the Thai Netizen Network. The study aims to increase transparency of Internet controls in Thailand and to collect data that can potentially corroborate rumors and reports of Internet censorship events. The key finding of this report reveal that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Thailand appear to be blocking websites at their own discretion.
