Censored Planet is one of the monitoring projects on a world scale (Raman et al. 2020). Between December 2019 and March 2020, there was a notable increase in Norwegian censorship (Sundara Raman et al. 2020). Details were not published but the raw data should be available.
The thesis can be subdivided into several stages.
- Evaluate published methods for measurement in a context similar to the one in Norway.
- Analyze the details of the increased censorship in Norway. Was it an intended action, due to mismanagement or configuration errors, or errors in the measurement tools?
- As an outcome of the previous stages, propose and analyze a censorship monitoring tool suited for the Norwegian setting.
