In addition to the far-reaching economic impacts, internet shutdowns in #Africa limit people’s ability to express themselves freely, activists/journalists struggle to upload photos/videos documenting abuse and students are cut off from their lessons.

(THREAD)
While governments, with the cooperation of telcos, may try to justify shutdowns in the name of “public safety” or other reasons, they are increasingly using it as a tactic to control flow of information, their people and to silence dissent.
Nevertheless, #documenting human rights violations is as important as ever during an internet shutdown because it can be a way to #preserve voices that authorities are trying to silence, and to secure #evidence of abuses that can be used to demand accountability later on.
