Hello Oonitarians,
Paradigm Initiative published a very interesting report a few days ago on recent censorship events in Nigeria: https://pinigeria.org/president-buharis-secret-war-on-free-speech/
21 URLs are reportedly blocked in Nigeria, as listed here: http://www.itrealms.com.ng/2017/11/leaked-ncc-writes-telco-to-block-21-pro.h...
These URLs include a popular Nigerian news outlet, as well as multiple sites run by the indigenous people of Biafra (who seek independence from Nigeria).
If you're in Nigeria and interested in testing these sites, you can do so via the following OONI Run link:
https://run.ooni.io/nettest?tn=web_connectivity&ta=%7B%22urls%22%3A%5B%2...
This will prompt you to install the OONI Probe mobile app (if you haven't already), to test the URLs that are reportedly blocked in Nigeria.
By testing these sites with OONI Probe, you will:
- confirm whether these sites are in fact blocked (in the network that you test them)
- learn how they are blocked
- receive relevant circumvention advice (if they are found to be blocked)
- increase transparency of these censorship events (since the data is automatically published)
All the best,
Maria.
