Hello,

Today the OONI team published a new research report documenting the t*hrottling of news media websites in Kazakhstan*.

You can read the report here: https://ooni.org/post/2023-throttling-kz-elections/

In our latest report, we analyse the ongoing throttling of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) Kazakhstan’s service websites in Kazakh and Russian (www.azattyq.org and rus.azattyq.org), which started on 27th September 2022.

We also document the temporary throttling of Current Time TV during Kazakhstan's 2022 presidential election.

OONI data shows the ongoing throttling of RFE/RL Kazakhstan’s service websites on most tested Kazakh providers, while Current Time TV was mainly throttled on AS9198 (JSC Kazakhtelecom).

This report documents how OONI data can be used to investigate and document cases of throttling.

We thank OONI Probe users in Kazakhstan for contributing measurements, making this study possible. <3
