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
Story leads with source records to inspect. Historical study figures belong to their stated window; check current incidents and evidence before publication.
The April 2026 OONI study recorded different access to ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude in China. Its rates describe that study window; check fresh measurements before reporting today's status.
The April 2026 study reported interference across several AI services in Russia. Its measurements describe that window, not a current country-wide rate or attribution of cause.
The public incident statistics endpoint reports recent record and evidence growth. The incident feed can be filtered by country and severity; inspect each record before calling a disruption censorship.
Voidly Sentinel publishes shutdown-risk forecasts and model evaluation separately. Inspect the current model card and per-country briefing before reporting a score or coverage claim.
Editors can follow the incident feed and inspect source links before reporting a new block. A collection schedule does not establish how soon a citable incident appears after a signal.
For accountability journalism on specific platforms, inspect the returned measurements and source dates. Probe nodes and confirmed independent operators are different populations.
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.
