15:59:03 <onyinyang> hello everyone!
15:59:03 <onyinyang> here is our meeting pad: [https://pad.riseup.net/p/r.9574e996bb9c0266213d38b91b56c469](https://pad.riseup.net/p/r.9574e996bb9c0266213d38b91b56c469)
15:59:07 <onyinyang> hello everyone!
15:59:09 <cohosh> hi
15:59:11 <shelikhoo> hi~
15:59:34 <ggus> o/
16:03:47 <onyinyang> I see there aren't any new announcements or discussion points this week but is there anything to follow up on before moving to the interesting links?
16:04:33 <ggus> yes, there is an ongoing internet outage in PK: https://radar.cloudflare.com/pk?dateRange=1d
16:04:47 <ggus> https://twitter.com/CloudflareRadar/status/1755435530873888990
16:05:16 <onyinyang> Ah!
16:05:54 <onyinyang> I guess this is not totally unexpected given the election :(
16:06:18 <ggus> yeah, i guess this year will be the year of internet shutdowns
16:07:09 <ggus> and yesterday there was also elections in azerbaijan. i'd like to have some time to investigate if or how tor is blocked there: https://explorer.ooni.org/chart/circumvention?since=2023-02-08&until=2024-02-09&probe_cc=AZ
16:07:34 <ggus> (or if it's just false positive in OONI)
16:07:48 <shelikhoo> I think it would be nice if these internet shutdown tracking tools would track regional shutdown as well
16:08:09 <ggus> i think IODA can do that
16:09:16 <ggus> and the last thing: there was also an internet shutdown in senegal this week and the elections were postponed to december-2024.
16:09:38 <ggus> the internet connection was restablished
16:09:41 <ggus> eof
16:09:53 <shelikhoo> the one in ioda is still not accurate enough, in china the shutdown is in city level
16:10:00 <shelikhoo> or town level
16:10:21 <shelikhoo> while the IODA track on province level
16:10:56 <shelikhoo> and i was unable to verify a claimed internet shutdown at about Jan 1
16:11:50 <shelikhoo> (https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E5%BD%B1-%E5%82%B3%E5%95%86%E4%B8%98%E5%AF%A7%E9%99%B5%E7%B8%A33%E5%8D%83%E6%B0%91%E7%9C%BE%E5%9C%8D%E6%94%BB%E7%B8%A3%E5%9F%8E-14%E6%AD%B2%E5%AD%B8%E7%94%9F%E7%96%91%E9%81%AD%E8%99%90%E6%AD%BB%E5%BC%95%E6%9A%B4%E4%BA%82-%E7%95%B6%E5%9C%B0%E6%88%92%E5%9A%B4-033130324.html)
16:12:27 <shelikhoo> eof
