"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."
- John Gilmore; TIME magazine (6 December 1993)

The goal of ooni-probe is to collect data about censorship around
the world.
OONI, the Open Observatory of Network Interference, is a global observation
network which aims is to collect high quality data using open methodologies,
using Free and Open Source Software (FL/OSS) to share observations and data
about the various types, methods, and amounts of network tampering in the world.

With the belief that unfettered access to information is a intrinsic human right,
OONI seeks to observe levels of surveillance, censorship, and network discrimination
in order for people worldwide to have a clearer understanding of the ways in
which their access to information is filtered.

The end goal of OONI is to collect data which can show an accurate
topology of network interference and censorship. Through this topology, it will be
possible to see what the internet looks like from nearly any location, including
what sites are censored, or have been tampered with, and by whom. We're calling
it filternet.

OONI uses open methodologies and the data will be provided in raw
format to allow any researcher to indipendently draw their conclusions
