Hello, Today *OONI and Roskomsvoboda co-published a new research report* documenting *how Internet censorship changed in Russia over the last year* (since the start of the war in Ukraine) based on OONI data analysis. Read our report in: * English: https://ooni.org/post/2023-russia-a-year-after-the-conflict/ * Russian: https://ooni.org/ru/post/2023-russia-a-year-after-the-conflict/ You can also read Roskomsvoboda's publication about the report here: https://roskomsvoboda.org/post/rks-ooni-odin-god/ *# Key Findings* Overall, OONI data analysis shows the *blocking of 494 domains* in Russia. Many more websites are also blocked, beyond those tested. The blocked domains fall under 28 categories, suggesting *pervasive levels of internet censorship* in Russia. *New blocks* that emerged in Russia over the last year include: * Blocking of *Russian & international human rights websites* (e.g. Human Rights Watch & Amnesty International) * Blocking of *investigative journalism & news media sites* * Blocking of *Instagram, SoundCloud and Patreon * Access to the *Tor Project's website was temporarily unblocked* in Russia between 15th to 28th July 2022. Several discontinued sites have been unblocked over the last year (possibly as part of a "blocklist cleanup"). We *confirmed the blocking of 48 domains* (including a Let's Encrypt domain) based on OONI data, which do *not appear to be included in Russia's official blocking registry*. OONI data also suggests that access to a *major CDN was blocked* in the past year.
