As of September 11th, Russia has [1]blocked access to OONI Explorer , citing concerns over circumvention tools. This block affects Russian users' ability to access not only circumvention data but also the extensive dataset on global internet censorship that [2]OONI provides. From a blog post:
> OONI Explorer is one of the largest open datasets on internet censorship around the world. We first launched this web platform back in 2016 with the goal of enabling researchers, journalists, and human rights defenders to investigate internet censorship based on empirical network measurement data that is contributed by [3]OONI Probe users worldwide. Every day, we publish [4]new measurements from around the world in real-time.
>
> Today, OONI Explorer hosts more than 2 billion network measurements collected from 27 thousand distinct networks in 242 countries and territories since 2012. Out of all countries, OONI Probe users in Russia contribute the second largest volume of measurements (following the U.S, where OONI Probe users contribute the most measurements out of any country). This has enabled us to study various cases of internet censorship in Russia, such as the [5]blocking of Tor , the [6]blocking of independent news media websites , and [7]how internet censorship in Russia changed amid the war in Ukraine.

False. Water is not wet. Water makes other things wet.

But what if you pour water on your water?

> But what if you pour water on your water?
In the case where water is contained into a wettable solid (including the Ocean), then a larger surface of the solid becomes wet. If the water is contained into a non-wettable solid (e.g. clean glass), in between liquid interfaces, into a flux of gas, or is in free fall (including microgravity), then the wetness of the system isn't affected by the addition of water.

You know what I really appreciate? A reasonable and well thought out analysis of a silly bit of pedantry.
Thank you, excellent answer, and it was interesting to read.
