Hi all, I am trying find a list of events when different countries blocked Tor to understand why and how those countries blocked it and how Tor resolved those issues. Do you know if anybody is maintaining such a list? I found censorshipwiki ( https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/OONI/censorshipwiki) that has a similar list. But it seems that it's not maintained any more as it doesn't have the recent blocking incident by Iran. Also I'm not sure how comprehensive is this list as it's missing Tunisia.
Do you have any suggestion on how to create a comprehensive list of Tor blocking by countries?
My colleagues and I were thinking of two ways to go about this:
1. Get the total number of Tor users from every countries over time and look for anomalous fluctuations. When we created such a graph we noticed that huge number of bot controlled nodes that appear in almost every country's graph. It seems hard to identify real censorship events from graphs like this that can be affected by other events unrelated to censorship.
2. Search for tickets on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12727 with keywords related to censorship, for example "censorship", "block", "dpi". This has the potential problem of missing many events where nobody complained or filed a bug report with different keywords.
Let me know if there are other places I should look into to find censorship events.
Thanks! -- Sadia
