🎉 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 🙏❤️ ooni.org/install/mobile #ooni #censorship

🔴Información que debes saber🔴 ⚠️En Venezuela hay al menos 206 dominios bloqueados en internet y 92 de ellos son de noticias. Creamos una página donde puedes consultar uno a uno cuáles son y qué operadoras los restringen. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ ▶️bloqueos.vesinfiltro.org

Continuing nationwide power outage in #Cuba is resulting in reduced internet traffic volumes as residents cannot get online. Outage began at 17:40 UTC (1:40pm local) on Mar-16.

Iran is currently enduring its longest-ever internet shutdown, which began shortly after the Feb-28 airstrikes. My latest post covers all of 2026, outages within the whitelisted traffic, and other observations from our data. #DigitalBlackOutIran‌ kentik.com/blog/internet-…

Italy’s "Piracy Shield" forces providers to block content in 30 minutes without judicial oversight. This lack of due process leads to overblocking, taking down legitimate websites alongside infringing ones. We’re appealing a €14M fine to protect the Internet from automated censorship and ensure infrastructure providers aren't forced to overblock. cfl.re/4cMh0WA

Elections are underway in the Republic of Congo, and the government appears to have shut down the #Internet, as they did during 2016 and 2021 elections. Traffic disappeared at 05:30 UTC (06:30 local). Follow current status at radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/cg?dat…

⁉️¿Qué hace falta para que cesen los bloqueos en internet? "Que el director de CONATEL ordene a todos los proveedores de internet en Venezuela que levanten todos los bloqueos", de oficio y sin necesidad de cambios legales. ⬇️En Ve sin Filtro esperamos respuesta a nuestra carta.

قطع اینترنت در ایران اکنون وارد هفتمین روز خود شده است.مقدار بسیار اندکی از ترافیک اینترنت همچنان از ایران عبور می‌کند، اما این دسترسی محدود تنها برای افراد و سرویس‌های تأییدشده در فهرست سفید (whitelisted) فراهم است. برای بیشتر مردم، تقریباً هیچ دسترسی به اینترنت جهانی وجود ندارد.این نوع دسترسی محدود که به آن «وایت‌لیست» گفته می‌شود به این معناست که تنها برخی نهادها یا کاربران خاص اجازه اتصال دارند، در حالی که اکثریت جمعیت از اینترنت جهانی قطع شده‌اند. #IranWar #DigitalBlackoutlran

Que ironía: la lista bloqueos en la "hora loca" de #laligagate de hoy incuye a @opengovpart Una colación por gobiernos transparentes que incluye a 🇪🇸España, 🇬🇧UK, 🇸🇪Suecia, 🇨🇦Canada, 🇰🇷Corea… Páginas de comercios, de ONG, de gobiernos, se llevan por delante cualquier cosa!

Nearly all of the Iranian internet has been down for 43+ hours but, as was the case with last month's shutdown, there is a tiny amount of traffic still getting passed. Within the remaining traffic, we can see subsequent outages, possibly caused by continued US/IL airstrikes…🧵

هم‌زمان با حملات هوایی به ایران، اتصال اینترنت در این کشور با اختلال گسترده مواجه شده است. حجم ترافیک اینترنت در ساعت ۰۷:۰۶ به وقت هماهنگ جهانی (UTC) کاهش چشمگیری داشته و سپس در ساعت ۱۱:۴۷ بار دیگر افت کرده است؛ به‌طوری‌که در حال حاضر تنها حداقل سطحی از اتصال باقی مانده است. ایران پیش از این، پس از یک قطع کامل اینترنت در تاریخ ۸ ژانویه، از ۲۷ ژانویه به‌صورت نسبی بخشی از اتصال خود را بازیابی کرده بود، اما اکنون دوباره با اختلال جدی مواجه شده است

❗️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: explorer.ooni.org/findings/34084… 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 🙏 #ooni #censorship

‼️ Last week, #Uganda experienced an internet shutdown during its 2026 general elections. After 5 days, internet access was restored -- but major social media and messaging platforms remained blocked. OONI data shows the blocking of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X in Uganda over the past week.

Iran's shutdown is now 15 days and counting. Small amounts of service have been restored in recent days. #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevoIution2026 State telecom TIC (A49666) re-established many of its lost connections with outside providers, such as GBI (AS200612), at 22:02 UTC on Jan-22.

As two full weeks of #IranDigitalBlackout approaches, traffic again began to grow, starting around 18:00 UTC on 21-Jan. The growth was driven by large increases across several ASNs, and could potentially be related to an expanding whitelist of domains. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir?dat…

In this post for @kentikinc, I analyze the ongoing internet shutdown in Iran — one of the most severe communications blackouts in history. #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevoIution2026 kentik.com/blog/from-stea…

🚨 Inside Iran’s Internet Blackout 🚨 Listen to my timely conversation with @Ammir of @filterbaan and @network_phil covering what we know about Iran's on-going internet blackout. #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranProtests #Iran kentik.com/telemetrynow/s…

Iran has almost completely disconnected itself from the global internet. Just after 16:30 UTC today, traffic volume into the country began plummeting. The country has been gripped by growing protests in recent days & the Iranian govt has been selectively blocking internet services. #IranProtests
