The panel ends with Tanzeel adding they are seeing changes in terms of people understanding their rights, but we need actions to hold social media companies and states accountable. Censorship effects people and people need to have that space to speak. -@DigitalRightsKS@twitter.com #IGF2022 https://t.co/oMM2qNQQhW

We see that govt keeps coming up with rules and regulations which are very problematic and the way the state is interpreting these situations. The impact on users is multi-faced in authoritarian regimes. users are in a very tough spot. -@nighatdad@twitter.com #IGF2022 @OversightBoard@twitter.com

Ppl do not have authority or decision-making; tech companies need to understand that. They need to make exceptions in case of regions under political uprising like Kashmir or Myanmar. In 2019, 1 million tweets moderated by Indian govt. -@DigitalRightsKS@twitter.com #IGF2022

Eliska shared that shutting down is not justified & this is a matter of international human rights. It is about state obligations to protect individuals against violation of human rights.States criminalized different acts of speech to silence others.-@EPirkova@twitter.com @accessnow@twitter.com #IGF2022

#IGF2022 concluded this week in Ethiopia, and I was grateful to be a part of it remotely.

But over the last 2 years, millions of people in the #Tigray region of Ethiopia have been living under an internet shutdown in the middle of one of the deadliest conflicts.

Internet shutdowns are a violation of fundamental human rights. Ethiopian authorities need to end this shutdown now and #ReconnectTigray #KeepitOn #ISOCYouth

N THE NEWS: At the #IGF2022 in Addis Ababa, GDIP Head of Africa Onica N. Makwakwa @AfroDiva was interviewed by Ethiopia’s public service broadcaster ETV about internet affordability, rural connectivity, and the digital gender gap across the continent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R36V3_Y8_8g

Since the start of the conflict in #Tigray, Ethiopia, authorities have weaponized #InternetShutdowns to block info + cover up atrocities.

The @_AfricanUnion@twitter.com must pressure authorities to #ReconnectTigray + beyond. Sign the petition ➡️ https://accessnow.org/tigray-ethiopia-internet-shutdown-keepiton #KeepItOn #IGF2022
