# Sustained censorship in EE (2026-10)

**Country:** 🇪🇪 Estonia (EE)
**Date:** 2026-10-06
**Type:** Censorship
**Severity:** CRITICAL
**Status:** confirmed

## Summary

OONI detected 4 days of elevated network interference averaging 56.8% anomaly rate.

## Metrics

- Confidence: 69%
- Measurements (stored incident count; not the qualifying evidence count): 4
- Anomaly Rate: 56.8%

## Evidence

- **OONI** (measurement): OONI http_invalid_request_line: 7 anomaly + 0 confirmed / 16 nonfailed measurements (43.8% blocked; 0 failed)
  - Observed: 2026-10-09
  - Confidence: 68%
  - [OONI Explorer filtered results (not one measurement)](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?probe_cc=EE&test_name=http_invalid_request_line&since=2026-10-09&until=2026-10-10)
- **OONI** (measurement): OONI http_invalid_request_line: 7 anomaly + 0 confirmed / 11 nonfailed measurements (63.6% blocked; 0 failed)
  - Observed: 2026-10-06
  - Confidence: 75%
  - [OONI Explorer filtered results (not one measurement)](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?probe_cc=EE&test_name=http_invalid_request_line&since=2026-10-06&until=2026-10-07)
- **OONI** (measurement): OONI http_header_field_manipulation: 7 anomaly + 0 confirmed / 11 nonfailed measurements (63.6% blocked; 0 failed)
  - Observed: 2026-10-06
  - Confidence: 75%
  - [OONI Explorer filtered results (not one measurement)](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?probe_cc=EE&test_name=http_header_field_manipulation&since=2026-10-06&until=2026-10-07)

## OONI observations withheld from evidence

These linked OONI rows carry the historical signal_level='normal' stored label and are quarantined from qualifying evidence pending regrade. The label is not proof that every row was accessible or anomaly-free: low-anomaly rows and rows with an omitted confirmed result may be present.

- OONI row with stored label `normal` — observed 2026-10-09
  - [OONI Explorer filtered results (not one measurement)](https://explorer.ooni.org/search?probe_cc=EE&test_name=signal&since=2026-10-09&until=2026-10-10)

## What we cannot say

- **Who caused it** — measurement data alone does not attribute the interference to any government, ISP, or other actor.
- **Intent** — anomalous or unreachable measurements indicate interference, not a stated motive or a deliberate-vs-incidental determination.
- **Which networks** — no specific ASN/ISP is identified for this incident.
- **Sub-national scope** — measurement is aggregated at the country level; we cannot localize to a province, city, or network segment.
- **Independent corroboration** — fewer than two source labels appear in qualifying linked evidence; stored incident source labels may include quarantined OONI observations.

## Data Sources

ooni

These source labels come from qualifying linked evidence. Historical incident source labels and quarantined observations are excluded; multiple labels alone do not establish independent corroboration.
