Projects
OONI
In 2011 I co-founded a project with the aim of understanding network interference, including internet censorship. The Open Observatory of Network Interference (https://ooni.torproject.org/), known as OONI, was born and I have since been leading its development.
OONI is a free software project that enables anyone around the world to test their network and to collect data examining various forms of internet censorship, including the following:
- Blocking of websites;
- Blocking of the Tor network;
- Blocking of instant messaging apps;
- Presence of “middle boxes” that could be responsible for censorship and/or surveillance.
Hundreds of users around the world run ooniprobe daily and millions of network measurements have been collected (and published) from more than 100 countries.
OONI has a large community of volunteers who contribute to the project through software development, deployment, and advocacy around the world.
One of OONI’s research papers can be found here.
GlobaLeaks
In 2012 I co-founded the Hermes Centre for Digital Human Rights and have since served as its Vice President.
GlobaLeaks, a core project under the Hermes Centre, is the first open source whistleblowing platform that enables groups and individuals to report on corruption, human rights violations, and other injustices in a secure way.
I worked as the core developer of GlobaLeaks for several years and helped it reach large audiences worldwide.
