  # Voidly Global Censorship Index
20
 
21
- Real-time internet censorship measurements for 50 countries, based on 11,796,275+ OONI network probes.
22
 
23
  ## Dataset Description
24
 
25
- The Global Censorship Index provides country-level internet censorship scores derived from actual network measurements. Unlike annual expert assessments, this data updates daily.

- ## Data Fields
51
-
52
- - `country_code`: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code
53
- - `country_name`: Full country name
54
- - `censorship_score`: 0-100 score (100 = total censorship)
55
- - `threat_level`: Categorical level (free, low, medium, high, severe)
56
- - `block_rate`: Fraction of tested URLs blocked (0.0-1.0)
57
- - `total_measurements`: Number of OONI probe tests
58
- - `blocked_measurements`: Number of blocked test results
59
- - `web_connectivity_tests`: Website accessibility tests
60
- - `telegram_tests`: Telegram app connectivity tests
61
- - `whatsapp_tests`: WhatsApp connectivity tests
62
- - `isp_count`: Number of ISPs with data
63
- - `top_blocking_isps`: List of ISPs with highest block rates
64
- - `rank`: Global ranking by censorship severity
65
-
66
- ## Scoring Methodology
67
-
68
- Censorship scores are calculated from block rate percentages:
69
-
70
- | Score Range | Level | Description |
71
- |------------|-------|-------------|
72
- | 0-4 | Free | Minimal censorship |
73
- | 5-9 | Low | Limited censorship |
74
- | 10-24 | Medium | Moderate censorship |
75
- | 25-49 | High | Significant censorship |
76
- | 50-100 | Severe | Pervasive censorship |
77
-
78
- ## Data Sources
79
-
80
- - **Primary:** OONI (Open Observatory of Network Interference) - 11,796,275+ measurements
81
- - **Supplementary:** Distributed sensor network (16 nodes), anonymized VPN telemetry
