Since the enactment of National Security Law, the creeping internet censorship casts uncertainty over the future of Hong Kong’s free and open internet, raising fears that Beijing’ “Great Firewall” is coming to the city. In 2021, an internet service provider (ISP) admitted for the first time that it had prevented users from accessing HKChronicles.com in order to comply with the legislation. Since then, several political websites, such as the “Hong Kong Charter” and "8964 Museum" have been reported to be censored. As a journalist or a member of the civil society, how can we monitor the situation of internet censorship? Apart from the known cases, is there a way to find websites that are being secretly censored?
Igor Valentovitch, director of Netalitica, has conducted a comprehensive study on Internet filtering in Hong Kong from January 2020 to December 2022. Using a database of 613 URLs, representing various aspects of social life, such as human rights or social network, they tested accessibility with OONI probes, leading network measurement tools. Abnormal results from OONI probes suggest that Internet users in Hong Kong might have experienced website blocking in some of those instances.
Join us and discover the intriguing findings and potential website blocking in Hong Kong in the webinar. Don't miss the guest speaker - Maria Xynou from OONI, who will demonstrate how to monitor website blocking using OONI MAT in your country.
What to expect
Some of the questions that the presenters will answer include:
What type of websites have been blocked lately in HK?
How prevalent is the blocking?
What is the origin of the blocked content – global vs. local websites?
How to use OONI MAT to monitor for internet censorship? The speakers will answer questions you might have to start your own measurements.
Speakers
Igor Valentovitch: Director at Netalitica - research organization that maintains databases (test lists) for investigating internet censorship worldwide.
Maria Xynou: Internet censorship researcher and Partnerships Director of OONI
