The Shutdown
Why do governments shut down the internet – and what happens when it gets turned off?
Why do governments shut down the internet – and what happens when it gets turned off? Data published by the international digital rights organisation Access Now shows that internet shutdowns have been increasing in the last five years. This series follows the work of campaigner Felicia Anthonio, who leads the #KeepItOn campaign for Access Now. Her job is to identify and verify internet shutdowns as they happen, and tell the world about it.
