In addition to these *local* lists, the *global*\nlist consists of a wide range of internationally relevant and popular websites,\nincluding sites with content that is perceived to be provocative or\nobjectionable.  Most of the websites on the global list are in English.  In\ncontrast, the local lists are designed individually for each country by regional\nexperts.  They have content representing a wide range of categories at the local\nand regional levels, and content in local languages.  In countries where\nInternet censorship has been reported, the local lists also include many of the\nsites that are alleged to have been blocked.\n\n[Categories](https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/blob/master/lists/00-LEGEND-new_category_codes.csv)\nare divided among four broad themes:\n\n* Political (This category is focused primarily on Web sites that express views\nin opposition to those of the current government. Content more broadly related\nto human rights, freedom of expression, minority rights, and religious\nmovements is also considered here.)\n\n* Social (This group covers material related\nto sexuality, gambling, and illegal drugs and alcohol, as well as other topics\nthat may be socially sensitive or perceived as offensive).\n\n* Conflict/Security\n(Content related to armed conflicts, border disputes, separatist movements, and\nmilitant groups is included in this category).\n\n* Internet Tools (Web sites that\nprovide e-mail, Internet hosting, search, translation, Voice-over Internet\nProtocol (VoIP) telephone service, and circumvention methods are grouped in\nthis category.)\n\nMore information about testing methodology can be found\n[here](https://opennet.net/oni-faq).\n\nThe only testing list that applies regionally (more than one or more  country) is the\nCIS testing list which is intended for testing former Commonwealth of\nIndependent States nations.\n\nLists are available in both CSV and JSON format.\n\nPlease note that these lists are not the entirety of testing lists but rather just\nthe newest list for every unique country code.\n\nContributing URLs\n=================\n\nTo learn how to contribute URLs for testing see: https://ooni.org/get-involved/contribute-test-lists/\n\nCitation\n========\n\n\nIf using this dataset in a publication, please see the following [BibTeX File format](http://www.bibtex.org/).\n\n```\n@misc{testlist,\n  title={URL testing lists intended for discovering website censorship},\n  author={Citizen Lab and Others},\n  year={2014},\n  url={https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists},\n  note={\\href{https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists}{https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists}}\n}\n```\n\nAn example Chicago Style citation is included below:\n\n\u003e Citizen Lab and Others. 2014. _URL Testing Lists Intended for Discovering Website Censorship_. https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists.\n\nLicense\n========\n\n\nAll data is provided under Creative Commons\nAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International and available in full\n[here](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode) and summarized\n[here](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcitizenlab%2Ftest-lists","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcitizenlab%2Ftest-lists","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcitizenlab%2Ftest-lists/lists"}
