Description (last modified by )
Talk to Roya or Paul about tests available for checking the blocking of default bridges.
First determine where development/research is at with Spooky Scan or possibly Censored planet (https://censoredplanet.org/).
These systems check for blocking remotely and so might tell us something different from OONI.

At today's anti-censorship meeting we briefly discussed this project. We decided to move forward with our list of default bridges. These are public and we don't need to worry about sanitising scan results.

Adding the keyword to mark everything that didn't fit into the time for sponsor 19.

A brief update: On January 14, our friends from ICLab let us know that they are now testing our default bridges. They will get back to us once they have a bit of data to share.

I have been reminding our colleagues at ICLab and Censored Planet regularly but haven't gotten data yet.

No more Q1 for 2020.

Brief update: Our colleagues from ICLab sent me a measurement snapshot. I took a cursory look at it but need to spend some more time before summarising my analysis on this ticket. Please let me know if anyone else is interested in taking a look at the data.
Today, Roya visited as during our weekly anti-censorship team meeting and we briefly touched based on getting reachability scans going. David pointed out that OONI's list of default bridges (among other things) would be a great way to get started.
Roya's system has ~50,000 vantage points in 42 "non-free countries" (according to Freedom House's definition) plus a sample of other countries. Roya also wanted to know how often we want these measurements run. "At least once a day" seems like a good answer for now.
For now, I think we should:
