The OpenNet Initiative seeks student researchers interested in freedom of expression online, international politics and law, human rights, and censorship. ONI studies the activities and policies of governments that censor content on the Internet, including what material they block their citizens from seeing, how they accomplish this, and what legal bases they assert for this practice. ONI is also investigating the prevalence and influence of digital surveillance along with its implications for online privacy. In the past year, ONI researchers have studied sixty-five countries around the world.
