Abstract
The OpenNet Initiate (ONI-Asia) project brought together 14 local partners into a regional networking effort to investigate Internet censorship, filtering, and surveillance practices which is a widespread and growing problem in the Asia region, particularly acute in developing areas where ICT adoption is relatively new; data sources are difficult to track, legal jurisdictions are fuzzy, and both old and new shadowy actors are operating without rules. A key achievement was training of Asian partners in the ONI standardized approach to data collection. The overarching goal is to build capacity and evidence on Internet censorship practices in Asia, while increasing awareness and advocacy.
