New OONI pages: Citations & Community Resources
by Maria Xynou 10 Jul '26

10 Jul '26

Hello friends, We're excited to share that we have published 3 new pages on the OONI website: 1) *Get Involved*: https://ooni.org/get-involved/ 2) *OONI Resources*: https://ooni.org/support/resources/ 3) *OONI Citations & Press*: https://ooni.org/about/citations/ We revamped our "Get Involved" page to improve the discoverability of OONI community resources and information (addressing community feedback that it was previously hard to discover them). The "Get involved" page features OONI training materials, resources for outreach, documentation for using OONI data as part of research, information on how to join the localization community, and more! To enable you to find quick links with OONI information, we published a new "OONI Resources" page which not only provides links to all the OONI information you may need, but which also includes other resources at the end of the page which you may find useful! Wondering how researchers, journalists, and human rights advocates use OONI data? Our new “Citations & Press” page highlights OONI’s coverage in the press, as well as OONI citations in research and advocacy publications since 2012 (at least the ones we were able to track). We hope this helps inspire more efforts that make use of OONI data! Thank you for using OONI data and for being involved in the community. We couldn't do this work without you! Warmly, Maria.

Assessing OONI's Anonymous Credential System
by Maria Xynou 06 Jul '26

Hello friends, Earlier this year, we announced the *new OONI Anonymous Credential System* to cryptographically protect the OONI dataset from the (intentional or unintentional) submission of faulty measurements, and to strengthen trust in OONI data. Today, we published a new blog post which shares: * *New heuristics and strategies* for mitigating faulty measurements * An *evaluation of the effectiveness* of our new Anonymous Credential System *Read our blog post here*: https://ooni.org/post/2026-faulty-measurements/ You can also learn more about the OONI Anonymous Credential System through our previous blog posts: * Announcing OONI's New Anonymous Credential System: https://ooni.org/post/2025-announcing-ooni-new-anonymous-credential-system/ * Requirements for OONI’s Anonymous Credentials System: https://ooni.org/post/2025-requirements-for-oonis-anonymous-credentials/ * Probe Security Without Identification: https://ooni.org/post/2025-probe-security-without-identification/ We thank Michele Orrù, a talented cryptographer and expert in digital signatures and zero-knowledge proofs who worked with us on designing and implementing anonymous credentials within OONI Probe. We also thank the OTF for supporting this work. ~ OONI.
