Call for volunteers: Measuring internet blackouts

Hello, Wouldn't it be great if we could automatically track internet blackouts around the world (i.e. when the internet as a whole is inaccessible) through a mobile app and collect technical evidence? The OONI team is working on precisely that, but we need your help! We are looking to collaborate with volunteers who are: * Located in a region that frequently experiences internet blackouts (or who can easily reach such locations) * Quite tech-savvy and can help set-up a test lab (i.e. host a Raspberry Pi or other hardware to run tests) Is this you? Or do you know someone who would be interested in collaborating with us? Please get in touch! The aim of this methodology is to assist advocacy groups fighting internet shutdowns through the collection of technical evidence. We plan to ship this as part of the OONI Probe mobile apps. By supporting the development of this methodology in its early stages, you would be playing an important role in supporting a global community that fights internet blackouts. Happy to address questions. Looking forward to hearing from you! All the best, Maria. -- Maria Xynou Research and Partnerships Coordinator Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) https://ooni.torproject.org/ PGP Key Fingerprint: 2DC8 AFB6 CA11 B552 1081 FBDE 2131 B3BE 70CA 417E
