We publish our list of documented blocks on: bloqueos.vesinfiltro.org/ And our reports and publications: vesinfiltro.org/ All of this is measurable and our analysis reproducible. We primarily generate and analyze measurements produced via @OpenObservatory OONI Probe, across vantage points on Venezuelan ISPs. Analyzing both the patterns in measurements as well as the details of the results, along with other analysis and internal measurements. bloqueos.vesinfiltro.org/faq
