[ooni-talk] Uganda elections and testing

[Maria Xynou]

Hi folks,

Leading up to Uganda's elections tomorrow, a number of social media and
VPN platforms appear to have been blocked (even when the OTT is paid).

We've shared relevant OONI Probe testing instructions through this
Twitter thread:
https://twitter.com/OpenObservatory/status/1349064291480166415

If you know people in Uganda, please share this with them.

This thread contains information for:

* Running all OONI Probe tests (including those that measure WhatsApp,
Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Psiphon, and Tor)

* Testing social media websites, VPN sites, and Ugandan websites
(through relevant OONI buttons)

* Testing the Google Play Store and App Store

* Limiting website testing based on (a) websites of your choice, (b)
specific website categories (e.g. news media, circumvention,
communication tools, etc.)

* Downloading the OONI Probe APK (if you're unable to install OONI Probe
from the Play Store)

In all cases, please ensure that your VPN is turned off when running
OONI Probe (to help ensure more accurate test results).

All OONI Probe test results from Uganda (unless the user has opted-out)
are openly published here:

Happy to address any questions.

Thanks,

Maria.
