Ushahidi Deployments

Editor's Notes

1. Which is exactly what happened in the Sudan when Sudanese civil society groups used Ushahidi to monitor the elections that took place just two weeks ago. The site was actually blocked by the Sudanese government for 48 hours. So our Sudanese colleagues got help from their tech-savvy friends to circumvent the censorship and continue mapping election irregularities. I expect that repressive regimes may eventually give up on blocking websites given the likely futility. Instead, they may try to game the platforms by falsifying crowdsourced information.
