About Voidly

The open observatory of global internet censorship.

Voidly tracks blocked domains and shutdowns across 130 countries — citable incidents, predictive forecasts, and a free, machine-readable API for journalists, researchers, and the AI agents that serve them. We also operate encrypted agent transport and a hosted amount-zero private-session staging flow.

What Voidly Is

Voidly is the open observatory of global internet censorship — an infrastructure company building five products on that observatory layer:

Atlas— Predictive network-risk intelligence across 130 countries. Live data, open API, risk forecasting, platform and ISP scoring.
Relay— E2E encrypted transport for agents and clients. Forward secrecy, post-quantum key exchange, private coordination.
Network— Global measurement infrastructure. 30+ probe nodes, VPN reachability, network telemetry.
Apps— First-party clients (VPN, Veil, Mail, Extension) built on the stack.

Every product feeds data back into the infrastructure. The more people use Voidly, the better the data gets.

Who Voidly Is For

•Developers — building circumvention tools, connectivity-aware apps, or AI agents that need encrypted communication
•Researchers — studying internet freedom trends with citable, ML-classified incidents
•Journalists — verifying censorship claims with evidence chains and confidence scores
•Users in censored regions — who need reliable VPN, encrypted messaging, and accurate data about what is blocked

How We Know the Need

Iran — recurring total shutdowns

During the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests and subsequent unrest, Iran imposed multiple nationwide internet shutdowns. Our incident database documents hundreds of Iran-related censorship events, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Signal blocking.

Myanmar — persistent platform blocking

Since the 2021 military coup, Myanmar has maintained blocks on Facebook, Twitter, and Wikipedia. Researchers tracking the situation need verified, timestamped evidence — not anecdotal reports.

Russia — expanding censorship infrastructure

Russia's TSPU (technical means of countering threats) has expanded from blocking individual domains to throttling entire protocols. Our network detects VPN blocking, protocol throttling, and DNS poisoning patterns that evolve weekly.

What's missing today

When journalists cover a breaking shutdown, they cite OONI raw measurements or anecdotal user reports. There's no single source providing classified, citable incidents with evidence chains and confidence scores — that's the gap Voidly fills.

How We Engage Users

Probe contributor feedback loop

Community probe operators report blocking patterns from their networks. A leaderboard and trust scoring system incentivizes sustained contribution. Contributors in high-censorship countries provide ground-truth signals that validate our ML classifier.

Researcher & journalist integration

Citable incident IDs (e.g. IR-2026-0142) were designed after feedback from researchers who needed stable references for academic citation. MCP server integration lets journalists query censorship data directly from their AI tools.

Open data as a feedback channel

All incident data is CC BY 4.0. When external researchers find discrepancies, they can file corrections through our API or GitHub. This creates a self-correcting loop independent of our team.

What's next

Structured user interviews with journalists and human rights defenders in target regions. Advisory relationships with civil society organizations. These are planned deliverables for the next funding cycle.

Why This Exists

Existing measurement projects are essential but leave a gap:

—OONI generates raw probe measurements — doesn't classify incidents
—CensoredPlanet runs remote DNS/HTTP tests — no real-time alerting
—IODA tracks network outages — not targeted domain/platform blocking

Voidly bridges this gap: we correlate data from all three (plus our own 30-node Voidly Network) into verified, ML-classified incidents with human-readable IDs (like IR-2026-0142), evidence chains, and confidence scores.

What We Provide

•30 globally distributed probe nodes generating proprietary measurement data
•317 verified censorship incidents with evidence chains
•ML classifier v3.3 — 0.71 F1 (LOCO mean across 127 countries — 0.63 on the 61 countries with n≥30. The 0.87 figure often quoted is the MEDIAN, inflated by 46 small-sample countries scoring a perfect 1.0), trained on 4,237 labeled samples
•Shutdown forecast model — 0.88 AUC (LOCO median on the training holdout; live rolling-30d precision is 0.17 and /v1/sentinel/accuracy flags the model DEGRADED) — 7-day risk predictions across 130+ countries
•Multi-source correlation: Voidly Network + OONI + CensoredPlanet + IODA
•Real-time VPN accessibility testing across major providers
•10-year historical archive (1.6M records, 130+ countries)
