Over on our Internet Society Pulse website, we were tracking the shutdown of mobile Internet in Pakistan during their election last week: https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/no-mobile-data-during-elections-in-pakistan

Now comes word that to the surprise of the Pakistani military and current government, ** the opposition party WON **! https://www.memeorandum.com/240210/p34#a240210p34

I will be curious to see if we see counter-action by the military or gov’t. (And if so, will they shutdown the Internet again?)

This smells super fishy. Yet another internet shutdown and the vote postponed for 10 months, yep that's going to be a totally free and fair #election in #Senegal https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/leaders/senegal-lawmakers-extend-presidential-vote-delay-by-ten-months/87wmw7n #InternetShutdown #KeepItOn #SenegalElection2024

"Governments around the world must refrain from wielding internet shutdowns during elections to disconnect, disenfranchise, and deny people their right to participatory democracy." #KeepItOn

#InternetShutdowns #Censorship #Politics #Elections: "2024 is an unprecedented year for democracy. National elections are expected to take place in at least 64 countries, determining representatives for nearly half the world’s population. Among those countries, 24 have imposed shutdowns in the past, accounting for a combined population of 2.8 billion people, or about 1/3 of the total global population. With billions of people at risk of shutdowns in 2024 during election periods alone, the stakes for democracy and human rights this year are higher than ever.

That’s why the #KeepItOn coalition will be fighting to #KeepItOn in high-risk countries around the globe, during the 2024 election season and beyond.

Notably, the Freedom Online Coalition (FOC) — a network of at least 38 countries — is standing with us in this effort and recently issued a joint statement denouncing shutdowns in times of elections and urging states to refrain from normalizing this practice."

#CPJ è preoccupato per la decisione del 4feb2024 delle autorità di #Senegal di interrompere l'accesso a Internet mobile, in un contesto di tensione politica conseguente al rinvio a tempo indeterminato delle elezioni nel paese.
Le chiusure di #Internet lasciano i giornalisti in difficoltà nel riportare le notizie in modo tempestivo, nel verificare i fatti sulla disinformazione e nel contattare le fonti in modo sicuro.
