Richard Rogers - Methods in Media
This document summarizes a method for discovering censored websites in Iran using hyperlink analysis and dynamic URL sampling. Researchers used a list of sensitive Iranian sites and crawled URLs to find a network of linked sites. Each site was checked through an Iranian proxy for blocked status. 30 previously undiscovered blocked sites were found, revealing the potential of this digital methods approach for circumventing censorship. The study demonstrates how online data and tools can provide new insights into societal conditions.
