For journalists
Find the incident. Inspect the evidence. Give your reader a record they can follow.
Follow a beat. Go back to the source.
Read the incident feed in your existing reader.
Create a country widget for your article.
Get citation formats and link to the original record.
Forecasts are model estimates. Check validation, observation dates and uncertainty before reporting them as a risk signal.
Use the specific incident URL, observation date and relevant source. Keep the measurement scope in the story; a network anomaly alone does not establish intent.

}Measurement sources include OONI, CensoredPlanet, IODA and Voidly probes. Citizen Lab provides test-list context. Coverage, recency and confidence vary by source and network.
Voidly-original incidents, scores and annotations are CC BY 4.0. Raw upstream data retains its own license; OONI raw data and Citizen Lab test lists are CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Dataset licenses do not license application code.
Keep source attribution with embeds and exports. The license for a Voidly-original record does not replace the license of raw evidence from an upstream source.
Email your beat, outlet, deadline and question to press@voidly.ai. Ask for comment, a source walkthrough or an embed sized for your article.
On request, Voidly can coordinate a hold of up to 24 hours on its own research write-up. Underlying data is published to everyone at the same time.
A source walkthrough. A comment. A closer look.
Original reference text retained with its links and context. Historical product, metric and availability statements describe that reference; the current presentation and dated source records above take precedence.
Citable incidents with permanent IDs. Embed widgets sized for your CMS. RSS feeds per beat. A founder available on the record. We do the analysis; you publish the story.
Pitch desk
Seven story leads, each with supporting numbers and 2-3 currently-citable incident IDs. We'll send you the underlying CSV on request.
OONI evidence shows OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini are 100% blocked across Chinese ISPs (DNS-level blocking). Anthropic's Claude shows zero anomalies in the same window. The asymmetry is consistent and reproducible.
Russia shows 6-8% interference rates on ChatGPT, openai.com, Claude, and Gemini — a tighter cluster than typical natural variation. The uniformity suggests deliberate, coordinated middlebox behavior, not isolated outages.
Our network detects roughly a dozen new incidents per day across every populated continent — recent weeks logged critical-severity disruptions in Ghana, Myanmar, Lebanon, Armenia, Russia, China, and Iran. The incident feed updates every 6 hours and is queryable by country, severity, or ASN.
Voidly Sentinel forecasts shutdown risk 7 days out using XGBoost on 1.6M historical OONI records plus a Wikipedia/GDELT election calendar. Empirical conformal coverage is 90.5% (vs. 90% nominal). Pull the heatmap or get a per-country briefing.
Voidly's incident pipeline runs every 6 hours and creates new citable incidents within minutes of the underlying signal. Editors can subscribe to RSS or webhooks (HMAC-signed, exponential backoff) for real-time additions.
For accountability journalism on specific platforms (WhatsApp, Twitter/X, Telegram, Signal, Wikipedia, Tor, etc.), Voidly exposes a single oracle endpoint that returns recent measurement evidence and anomaly rates. Domain-level history is queryable for any of 62 monitored services.
The ISP Risk Index ranks providers by aggressiveness, category breadth, and blocking method. Useful for stories on telecom regulation, ISP-government cooperation, and "voluntary" filtering schemes. Full ASN-level data, side-by-side comparison, and exports to CSV/JSONL.
Subscribe
RSS, Atom, and JSON endpoints, all CORS-enabled. Filter by country, severity, or sync incrementally with the delta feed. Webhook delivery (HMAC-signed, exponential backoff) is also available — request access at press@voidly.ai.

In the press
Voidly is launched as a public dataset and we are actively seeking the first wave of media citations. Our research artifacts and data are already being used internally by privacy researchers and AI labs — we'd love to be cited by your story.
If you've already cited Voidly — or are about to — email press@voidly.ai and we'll add a link here. We will also hold our own write-ups for up to 24 hours on request. The data itself is never embargoed — it publishes to everyone at the same moment.

Server-rendered findings refreshed every 6 hours from the live API. Each finding traces to a public endpoint you can re-query.
Side-by-side coverage and recency comparison vs. OONI Explorer, Censored Planet, IODA, NetBlocks, AccessNow.
Beat contacts
Voidly is solo-founded right now, so all beat contacts route to the founder directly. Email is fastest. We respond within the same business day for press inquiries.
24-hour embargo on our write-ups. We will hold a research write-up so your story runs first. We do not embargo the data — incidents hit the public feed for everyone at the same moment. To coordinate on a write-up, email press@voidly.ai with your outlet, beat, and target publication date.
