Hi all,

The Spanish government is blocking websites that contain information about the referendum that will happen in Catalonia next 1st October (along with other repressive measures) and is suing people that keeps publishing web mirrors.

Note that the .cat domains seem to be seized (last week Police raided the offices of the .cat domain registry, seized some computers and arrested their head IT) while other TLDs are just DNS hijacked by the Spanish Internet providers.

I've made a pull request to include some of these urls in the list of domains checked by OONI.

You can read more about it in the following links: - https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/issues/221 - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/cat-domain-casualty-catalonian-indepen... - https://medium.com/@josepot/is-sensitive-voter-data-being-exposed-by-the-cat...

Thanks for your work! Pablo
