Wikipedia went down in Russia on Aug 28. We checked it three ways: traffic data, @ooni.org's network measurements, a reader poll. They all converge. But there's no block page, no official comment, and no one has said why. riposte.levelflow.org/2026/08/wikipedia/

OONI @ooni.org · 30/06/2026
OONI data from #Spain shows that blocking implementation varied across ISPs. Blocking by most ISPs was largely confined to LALIGA match time windows, with minimal evidence of spillover outside broadcast periods. ooni.org/post/2026-la...

OONI @ooni.org · 30/06/2026
At least 36 infrastructure and hosting providers were impacted by the IP-level blocking observed during LALIGA match broadcasts. OONI data from #Spain reveals the blocking of 7,441 unique IP addresses belonging to 36 organizations (e.g. Amazon, Cloudflare, Alibaba Cloud). ooni.org/post/2026-la...

OONI @ooni.org · 30/06/2026
During most LALIGA broadcasts on multiple networks in #Spain, blocking just 4–20 IP addresses in a 1-hour window led to significant collateral damage, affecting over 400,000 unique domains. ooni.org/post/2026-la...
131
OONI @ooni.org · 30/06/2026
At least 5.8% of the internet’s most popular domains were found to be blocked in #Spain. Out of 9.2 million domains tested, we found at least 554,510 domains blocked (including @amnesty.org) at some point in time in Spain during the LALIGA football match broadcasts. ooni.org/post/2026-la...
