On May 12, 2026, OONI announced new thematic censorship pages on OONI Explorer, documenting the blocking of social media, news media, and circumvention tools globally. This initiative aims to assist researchers and human rights defenders in monitoring censorship events more effectively. OONI Explorer is the largest open dataset on internet censorship, with over 2 billion measurements from 28,000 networks in 242 countries since 2012. The thematic pages focus on areas frequently targeted by censorship, including social media and news outlets. The launch follows extensive user research to enhance usability and accessibility of OONI data. This effort highlights the ongoing decline in internet freedom, with governments increasingly targeting specific sites and services. The thematic pages will provide short reports and charts to help users quickly understand censorship trends and events. OONI's work is crucial for accountability during critical moments like elections and protests.
