	tl;dr: OONI Probe is an open-source tool that lets users test whether websites, messaging apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram), and circumvention tools are blocked on their network. It also measures network speed and performance via an integrated NDT test built with M-Lab. Results contribute to what OONI claims is the world's largest open dataset on internet censorship.
	HN Discussion: ↓Tool has selection bias by scanning sites blocked in dictatorships but not in democracies ↓Tool misses the more significant censorship happening within platforms like social media ↑Tool serves its stated purpose of measuring network-layer censorship, not platform censorship ↓Using the tool could be dangerous in censored regimes and put users at risk ~Suggestions to extend the tool to measure net neutrality violations across protocols
