Since block pages differ from country to country and sometimes even from network to
network, it is quite challenging to accurately identify them. OONI uses a series of heuristics
to try to guess if the page in question differs from the expected control, but these heuristics
can often result in false positives. For this reason OONI only confirms an instance of
blocking when a block page is detected.
Upon the collection of more network measurements, OONI continues to develop its data
analysis heuristics, based on which it attempts to accurately identify censorship events.
