Hello,
Last year, OONI wrote a research paper ("*Measuring DoT/DoH Blocking Using
OONI Probe: A Preliminary Study*") which was presented at the Network and
Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS'21) as part of the DNS Privacy
Workshop. You can read this paper here:
https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/dnspriv21-02-paper.pdf
This study involves an *investigation of encrypted DNS (DoT & DoH) blocking
in Kazakhstan, Iran, and China* with a new OONI Probe experiment
(DNSCheck).
Today, we're publishing a blog post with a *summary of findings* (and video
presentation): https://ooni.org/post/2022-doh-dot-paper-dnsprivacy21/
You can also find a summary of findings through this Twitter thread:

You can help contribute measurements on encrypted DNS blocking by running
OONI Probe: https://ooni.org/install
Huge thanks to community members who supported this study!
Thanks,
Maria.
Hello,
In previous months, OONI had the great pleasure to serve as the host
organization for Kathrin Elmenhorst's Open Technology Fund (OTF)
Information Controls Fellowship.
As part of her fellowship with us, Kathrin investigated QUIC blocking &
QUIC's potential for censorship resistance.
Her findings reveal *QUIC censorship in China, India, Russia and Uganda*,
and she shares approaches for QUIC censorship evasion.
Learn more about her amazing research through her blog post ("*A Quick Look
at QUIC Censorship*"):

Thanks,
Maria.
Hello,
Currently the 50th session of the UN Human Rights Council is taking place.
In response to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’s call for
submissions in support of the OHCHR report on internet shutdowns and human
rights to the 50th session of the Human Rights Council in June 2022, the
OONI team provided a submission with relevant information on the occurrence
of mandated disruptions of access to social media and messaging platforms
over the past 5 years based on empirical OONI network measurement data.
Read our submission here:
https://ooni.org/documents/2022-ooni-submission-ohchr-report-internet-shutd…
We share *OONI data on social media blocks during elections and protests
over the last 5 years*.
Thanks,
Maria.
