RightsCon Toronto 2018

Minority groups and marginalized communities often experience distinct patterns of censorship online. This censorship occurs at multiple levels, from the blocking of minority websites to platform censorship. This session will present evidence of online censorship of minority groups and will engage participants to consider what can be done to safeguard digital freedom of expression rights for oppressed communities.

Visualizing Impact will discuss efforts through Onlinecensorship.org team to capture reports of censorship by social media platforms. OONI will also discuss cases involving the blocking of minority websites around the world, as well as techniques for measuring their accessibility over time.
