I try to read current censorship research and post a summary of each paper that I read under the "reading group" label. Lately there are so many papers appearing that I am beginning to lose track. So I started a wiki page of papers that I intend to get to but haven't read/summarized yet.
If anyone else wants to contribute to the reading group by posting a summary, you are welcome to. My approach when posting a public summary is to treat the paper sympathetically. It's not the same as peer review: I try to fairly summarize the authors' claims, without finding fault. Before posting, I send the draft summary to the authors and ask if there are any misrepresentations, because the only feeling worse than having one's research misunderstood is having that misunderstanding propagated by someone with more reach. My goal in posting summaries is to provide exposure for the authors, demonstrate welcome and support to others working in the field, and communicate the main ideas of a piece of research to people who don't normally read academic papers.
If you have ideas to add to the reading list, I believe you can do that by doing a pull request on the wiki repository.
