Common questions

Q01

Is Telegram blocked in Saudi Arabia?

+
Insufficient measurements to give a confident verdict. The most recent check returned 141 measurements over the rolling window. See live status: https://api.voidly.ai/v1/accessibility/check?domain=telegram.org&country=SA.
Q02

How was this verdict measured?

+
Voidly cross-checks four independent sources: OONI probes, IODA ASN-level outage detection, CensoredPlanet active scans, and our own probe fleet (a rotating subset of the Citizen Lab list, 5-min cadence; live counts at https://api.voidly.ai/v1/probe/stats). A GradientBoosting v3.3 classifier (LOCO mean F1 0.71 across 127 countries, 0.63 on the 61 with n≥30 — the 0.87 median is inflated by 46 small-sample countries at a perfect 1.0) maps the raw signals to a confidence score. Methodology: https://voidly.ai/methodology.
Q03

When was Telegram last verified in Saudi Arabia?

+
