Simon Migliano<p>The Cost of Internet Shutdowns 2024 annual report is out TODAY! It shows that deliberate internet outages cost us $7.69 billion last year. There were also more hours of shutdowns (89,000) than ever before and in more countries (28).

Internet Society<p>🚨 🚨 - The government of <a href="https://techpolicy.social/tags/Mauritius" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mauritius</span></a> has ordered the blocking of social media services through November 11 (the day after their presidential election on Nov 10). </p><p>Read more on our Pulse site: <a href="https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/mauritius-orders-blocking-of-social-media-sites-in-advance-of-election" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pulse.internetsociety.org/shut</span><span class="invisible">downs/mauritius-orders-blocking-of-social-media-sites-in-advance-of-election</span></a></p><p>While not a full Internet shutdown, blocking of social media sites seriously affects the ability of people to communicate, connect, shop, learn, and engage in business.

Dan York<p>Over on our Internet Society Pulse website, we were tracking the shutdown of mobile Internet in Pakistan during their election last week: <a href="https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/no-mobile-data-during-elections-in-pakistan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pulse.internetsociety.org/shut</span><span class="invisible">downs/no-mobile-data-during-elections-in-pakistan</span></a></p><p>Now comes word that to the surprise of the Pakistani military and current government, ** the opposition party WON **! <a href="https://www.memeorandum.com/240210/p34#a240210p34" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">memeorandum.com/240210/p34#a24</span><span class="invisible">0210p34</span></a></p><p>I will be curious to see if we see counter-action by the military or gov’t.

Dan York<p>In about 1 hour (2pm ET) I'll be on a livestream with David Belson ( <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dbelson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dbelson</span></a></span> ) to discuss <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internet</span></a> shutdowns and disruptions.

Dan York<p>It continues to blow my mind that the government of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Iraq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iraq</span></a> thinks it is perfectly acceptable to just shutdown the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internet</span></a> for *the entire country* for a period of 4 hours to attempt to prevent cheating on high school exams!</p><p>- <a href="https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/day-six-of-iraq-high-school-exam-related-internet-shutdowns" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pulse.internetsociety.org/shut</span><span class="invisible">downs/day-six-of-iraq-high-school-exam-related-internet-shutdowns</span></a></p><p>- <a href="https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/day-seven-of-iraq-high-school-exam-related-internet-shutdowns" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pulse.internetsociety.org/shut</span><span class="invisible">downs/day-seven-of-iraq-high-school-exam-related-internet-shutdowns</span></a></p><p>There are better ways to do this than <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetShutdowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetShutdowns</span></a> !</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/KeepItOn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeepItOn</span></a></p>
