Global Internet Filtering
Limitations
Size of Sample
There's only so many countries I can look into
Limited number of terms I can search
Limited number of search results I can sample
Breadth and depth
I can't cover the entire spectrum of topics
I can't cover all the terms related to a certain topic
Technology
I cannot narrow the method of filtering
Technological errors
VPN servers are not existant in some
There might be advancements in tech. that bypasses the bypass
Other
Language. Google translate can only do so much
Standardizing the results: I need a definite standard
Data is relative since there is no absolute database
Research
Methodology
VPN
Switch time/date to account for errors
Go through the list of search terms and record data
May require $$
Consider applying the server list to the sampling population
DNS Proxy
Switch time/date to account for error
Go through list of terms and record data
Much bigger room for error. Substantiate the routing through recon
Wider but still limited server list
List of topics
Refer to seminal text & Lit review
Data
TBD
Analysis
Define a relative standard to quantify the search results
Refer to different papers and research methods to build one
Graph on breadth and depth
Consider transparency
