Die drei afghanischen #Frauen in meinem Alphabetisierungskurs waren heute den ganzen Vormittag über niedergeschlagen und unkonzentriert, nachdem die #Taliban das Internet abgestellt haben. Sie können ihre Angehörigen jetzt kaum noch erreichen, Aktuell hat nur eine Frau die Möglichkeit, über den Umweg über ihre geflüchteten Verwandten im Iran überhaupt an Informationen zu kommen, denn von dort aus funktioniert das Telefonieren nach #Afghanistan besser.
Die Taliban schalten das Kabelinternet in mehreren nördlichen Provinzen Afghanistans ab, um „Unmoral“ zu verhindern. Diese drastische Maßnahme trifft besonders Frauen und Mädchen durch die Einschränkung von Online-Bildung.

#Taliban have almost completely cut off #Afghanistan from the #Internet since yesterday. Here’s a comparison of access before and after the shutdown. #keepiton #InternetStatus #InternetShutdown
here we go.
this is the primary authoritarian abuse of the internet and tech.
the other is more simple, and even more brutal: an #internetshutdown to cover dirty deeds as they are being committed.
it may be confirmation bias on my part, but I felt a certain wariness in the discussion of the nature of the catastrophe.

Iran Internet Outage Update
Since June 18, Iran has faced a near-total internet blackout. June 21 marked the lowest point in visibility—but signs of recovery are emerging.
Some networks (e.g., DATAK, HAMYAR-AS) remain unstable.
Others (e.g., RESPINA-AS, MOBINNET-AS) are bouncing back strong.
TIC appears in nearly all slow-recovering transit paths.
We’re tracking it all.

During the Student Movement in Bangladesh, the government imposed an internet shutdown. Here's what they did to us during that time.
@netblocks THIS is ehy no #Government should have the ability - legal and/or technical doesn't matter - to do an #InternetShutdown!
What's the best recent comparative study of social media blocking in authoritarian states? When and why are social media (temporarily) blocked?
I'm finding mostly case studies (or studies that look at internet shutdowns, which is not what I'm after)
