[Maria Xynou]

Hello,

Yesterday the OONI team published *3 new reports* documenting recent
censorship events:

1) *Pakistan: Blocking of Wikipedia and Deutsche Welle*:

OONI data from Pakistan shows:
* Access to Wikipedia restricted between 1st-6th February 2023 (48-hour
degradation, followed by block)
* Ongoing blocking of Deutsche Welle (DW) since (at least) 16th January 2023

2) *Turkey: Throttling and DNS blocking of Twitter following deadly
earthquake*: https://ooni.org/post/2023-turkey-throttling-blocking-twitter/

On 8th February 2023, OONI data from Turkey shows that access to Twitter
was throttled on at least 4 networks, and blocked by means of DNS
interference on other networks.

*3) Ethiopia: Ongoing blocking of social media*:
https://ooni.org/post/2023-ethiopia-blocks-social-media/

OONI data from *Ethiopia* shows the ongoing blocking of:
* Facebook and Telegram (since 9th February 2023)
* YouTube (since 10th February 2023)

We thank OONI Probe users in Turkey, Ethiopia, and Pakistan for
contributing measurements, supporting these studies.

You can continue to monitor the testing of services in each of these
countries (and around the world) through OONI's Measurement Aggregation
Toolkit (MAT), which publishes OONI measurements as *open data in real-time*

Thanks,

Maria.
