Senegal: #KeepitOn in Senegal - Content Regulation For a Less Divisive Future https://allafrica.com/stories/202308040049.html #AllAfrica

It’s confirmed: no InternetShutdowns
under the DSA!

When @ThierryBreton
suggested blocking of online platforms could be justified in EU, we demanded an explanation!

We thank the EU for the clarity + call on all world leaders to make a stand + #KeepItOn!

The government of #Senegal has imposed an #InternetShutdown on mobile networks starting today (31 July) - https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns/senegal-government-imposes-mobile-internet-shutdown

As we've stated multiple times, shutdowns are not a solution and harm the people and economy. We need to #KeepItOn !

#Internet

En définitive, M. Breton veut que la police puisse seule contrôler ce qui peut se dire en ligne. Or, le travail d'Access Now sur les coupures d'Internet rappelle qu'il s'agit d'une marque de fabrique des régimes autoritaires. L'UE ne peut prendre cette direction. #KeepItOn

The Internet should NOT be…

🚫 Shut down ahead of elections or school exams.
🚫 Controlled by corporations and governments.
🚫 Used to undermine societies and economies.

Preserving an open, globally secure, connected, and trustworthy #Internet is in everyone’s best interest.
