  • “In this paper, the Open Net Initiative (ONI) considers some of the legal implications of controlling access to Internet content through filtering. ONI — a research partnership of the Berkman Center, University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, and the University of Cambridge — documents Internet filtering by collecting empirical data about the parties who censor web traffic and the types of sites blocked in different countries.
