What the record says

Finding. The current OONI aggregate reports a 58.3% anomaly index across 272,935 completed China measurements.

This report is scoped to ooni-gfw. It does not merge unlike instruments or infer a cause from co-movement.

How it was measured

side-channel: we ingest OONI's already-aggregated open data; gfw_index is anomalous completed measurements divided by all completed measurements; we never probe a censored resource ourselves (vantage-insensitive)

What this cannot establish

  • Volunteer-probe coverage is uneven across place, network and test family; anomalies are not all attributable to censorship.

Instrument brief

live-reading · Current evidence

Palimpsest's view: ooni-gfw is live. The current number is 58.3% over 272,935 completed measurements. This is the instrument reading, not a national censorship rate.

Key number

  • 58.3% GFW anomaly index · 272,935 completed measurements

Current number and denominator

  • The current GFW anomaly index is 58.3% over 272,935 completed measurements.
  • The current OONI aggregate reports a 58.3% anomaly index across 272,935 completed China measurements.

Same-edition board context

  • Same-edition elevated layers: none declared. Other live lead or high signal ids: event-flags, ddti, undertext, in-path-interference, censored-planet, inside-view, ioda-outages, vantage-fusion, erasure-observatory, wayback, app-storefront, apple-censorship, cny-fix-gap, data-darkness, generative-firewall.
  • No editorial_priority or MAD score is treated as a finding on this reading.

What this reading does not show

  • Volunteer-probe coverage is uneven across place, network and test family; anomalies are not all attributable to censorship.
  • The brief does not assign motive, identify a person, merge unlike denominators, or treat a missing reading as a zero.
  • side-channel: we ingest OONI's already-aggregated open data; gfw_index is anomalous completed measurements divided by all completed measurements; we never probe a censored resource ourselves (vantage-insensitive)

Counterreadings

  • A current or withheld instrument value is not independent corroboration of any publisher article, and it is not a cause.
  • Co-movement with another live signal on this edition is layer context, not a shared rate or a coordinated action.

Limitations

  • Volunteer-probe coverage is uneven across place, network and test family; anomalies are not all attributable to censorship.
  • The companion copies newsroom templates only; it adds no interview, article body, or generative prose.
