Actually OONI tests is absolute useless to find anything bad, All the
tests being done can be known trivially by using the internet e.g:
- check for websites blockage
- check for Tor blockage
- check for Internet speed
..etc
Which one of that need magic/effort to be known? child using the
internet in that area can give you all the results without the need to
run this OONI app
The app gives me a one-click "Is this network censored, and what sort of
censorship might apply" without manually maintaining such a list myself,
and inspecting each site manually.
For my own part, I'm a lot more comfortable explaining why I am using a
censorship diagnostics tool than I am opening offensive sites in a
public location.
And while we're on the topic, you might well want to spend your time
checking 25-1463 of the sites on the global list manually, and if this
is how you spend your free time, all power to you! I would rather a tool
do the work and give me a summary report which I can inspect.
And if you do go through this process manually, regularly, on different
networks, I trust you collect the results and tabulate the results in a
meaningful and collaborative way to provide public information on
censorship across a wide range of networks and countries?
I have no affiliation with the app developers, except as a satisfied
user who does find value in the current app.
Could there be more functionality added? Sure!
It should give results for middle boxes , DNS/TLS hijacking ...etc something useful/worth to run OONI for.
These would be great things to consider adding too.
