	Internet Monitor is a research project based at [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society]. Internet Monitor's aim is to evaluate, describe, and summarize the means, mechanisms, and extent of Internet content controls and Internet activity around the world. The project helps researchers, advocates, policymakers, and user communities understand trends in Internet health and activity through research, analysis, and data visualization.

	Internet Monitor is developing a suite of tools to enable the automated collection of data on website availability in a number of countries worldwide. This effort has several components: data collection tools tailored specifically for assessing website availability and gathering evidence of deliberate blocking; global and country-specific lists of URLs to test; and additional sources of data, including NetClerk (which uses proxies located in data centers worldwide to test website accessibility) and FarFlung (a Chrome extension that allows users to participate voluntarily in testing URLs from their browsers). We are developing an analysis platform that will ingest data from the various sources to more accurately determine the availability of different sites in different locations. We are building a real-time testing UI, initially available only to invited participants, to enable on-demand testing in any of the supported locations worldwide.

The dashboard compiles and curates data from multiple sources, including primary data collected by the Berkman Center and our partners, as well as relevant secondary data. Users can create individual boards that provide a real-time view of the state of the Internet across a variety of dimensions, enable easy comparisons across countries and data sources, and are easy to configure, edit, and share. <br>		The Internet Monitor [https://dashboard.thenetmonitor.org/ dashboard] (launched in September 2015) offers users the opportunity to customize a collection of data visualization “widgets” according to their interest.
