5/17/23, 10:44 PM OTF | The decentralised infrastructure of online censorship in Asia Acknowledgements The words ‘we’ and ‘our’ in this blogpost are used for readability, and because the work took the form of collaborations with many amazing researchers. The Open Tech Fund supported my contributions to these collaborations. I am grateful to Simone Basso and Divyank Katira for reviewing this blogpost. All opinions and mistakes in this blogpost remain mine. I co-authored the paper on the technical implementation of online censorship (https://www.petsymposium.org/foci/2023/foci-2023-0006.pdf) in India with Divyank Katira, Kushagra Singh and Varun Bansal. The paper on due process rights in online censorship (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4404965) was co-authored with Divyansha Sehgal. Anunay Kulshrestha and I co-authored the analysis (https://www.lawfareblog.com/indian-telecommunicationbill-engenders-security-and-privacy-risks) of the draft Indian Telecommunication Bill (https://gurshabad.github.io/writing/Anunay_Kulshrestha-Gurshabad_GroverComments_Telecommunication_Bill_2022.pdf). The questionnaire and assessment framework for ISPs (https://github.com/gurshabad/gurshabad.github.io/blob/master/writing/isp-assessment.md) was developed in collaboration with Divyank Katira. I am co-authoring Guidelines for Human Rights Protocol and Architecture Considerations (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-hrpc-guidelines) with Niels ten Oever at the Human Rights Protocol Considerations research group in the Internet Research Task Force. Lastly, I am very grateful to the staff and community of the organisation hosting my fellowship, the Open Observatory of Network Interference (http://ooni.org/) (OONI), and particularly to Simone Basso for his unwavering support and for co-investigating the data quality of OONI measurements (https://ooni.org/post/improving-data-quality-analysis-of-failed-measurements/) from India, Pakistan and Indonesia.
