[ooni-talk] Test COVID-19 websites

[Maria Xynou]

Hello Lupa,

Thanks for your email.

You're right to point out that the site that CANTV blocked access to in
Venezuela is hosted by Juan Guaido (I also had VEsinFiltro's report in
mind).

I agree that the motivation for blocking in this case was probably more
political (rather than intending to censor COVID-19 information per se).

Nonetheless, we think it's interesting to track and measure all these
various cases, and hope you'll participate in the testing.

Best,

Maria.
