I know this is outside the NANOG area. Posting here as it might be of interest. Ron and I welcome any comments folks on the list might have on the report. --- New Citizen Lab / ONI cross-posted blog report: Routing Gone Wild: Documenting upstream filtering in Oman via India Key Findings • Data collected from Oman shows that web filtering applied by India-based ISPs is restricting access to content for customers of an ISP in Oman. While unusual, content filtering undertaken in one political jurisdiction can have an effect on users in another political jurisdiction as a result of ISP routing arrangements – a phenomenon known as “upstream filtering.” • Content found to be filtered includes news sites, political blogs and file sharing sites. • Some variability in filtering was documented, potentially linked to certain measures to loosen filtering regulations in India. https://citizenlab.org/2012/07/routing-gone-wild/ Ronald Deibert Director, the Citizen Lab and the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies Munk School of Global Affairs University of Toronto (416) 946-8916 PGP: http://deibert.citizenlab.org/pubkey.txt http://deibert.citizenlab.org/ twitter.com/citizenlab r.deibert@utoronto.ca
