[kictanet] Internet Censorship in Kenya: An Assessment

[Moses Karanja]

Thank you Ali.

There are two resources I would like to point you to for detailed data.

One is explorer.ooni: https://explorer.ooni.torproject.org/world/

    It details the specifics of each website and in case it is censored,
    how it is being done. This helps advocacy efforts on anti-censorship
    (like which tool to use, who is responsible for the censorship and
    such).

    We are currently doing IM testing (WhatsApp, Messenger and working
    on Viber and Telegram) on top of the website lists.

    From this work, we have identified how Ethiopia censors the
    Internet, Rwanda, Uganda among others in the region.


Another resource is the ICLAB data which we contribute to:
https://iclab.org/

    Anyone who would like to contribute to this work is invited. It
    could be as simple as adding websites you think are suspect to
    censorship or hosting a Raspberry Pi in your office or home network
    and in the near months, a mobile version will be available.


Moses.
