This chart shows the measurements collected from Kenya between 10th to 25th June 2025 from three networks AS33771, AS36866, AS37061. Many measurements collected from these networks on 25th June 2025 result in anomaly measurements which is a strong signal of intentional censorship.
βΌοΈ Today, amid anti-government protests, #Kenya blocked access to @telegram
OONI data suggests that access to Telegram Web is blocked on at least 3 networks in Kenya: explorer.ooni.org/chart/mat?pr...
