Our study explores users’ mental models, processes, and needs related to censorship data. Censorship data users are diverse, including technical researchers, journalists, and activists among others; and determining how users use and understand censorship data has not been formalized. We aim to understand user needs and challenges, and identify where improvements towards the usability of censorship data can be made.
Eligibility: We are looking for adults (18+) who have actively used censorship data.
