The Chokepoint Project: Monitoring Global Net Censorship

Damn cool project… “We are building a living record of the state of the Internet across the world documenting restrictions, attacks and blackouts using a variety of tools together with partner organizations to help journalists, governments, activists and citizens.”

Their current priority is the (dis)Connection State Map which aims to do the following:

• Measuring regional network connection states allowing monitoring of disconnection events.
• Quickly identifying disconnection events to augment the information sets required by on the ground actors and improve the quality of consequent decisions.
• Access to an historical overview of disconnection events  improving the quality of behavioral pattern analysis.
