Lisez notre rapport annuel #KeepItOn! 🌍

Le rapport couvre les coupures délibérées d’internet par des gouvernements en 2021 — la montée de l'autoritarisme numérique et de la censure dans le monde.

Principales conclusions ci-dessous ⬇️ #InternetBloqué accessnow.org/keepiton-2021-… Image
En 2021, les autorités ont délibérément coupé l'accès à internet à 182 reprises dans 34 pays.

On observe une résurgence spectaculaire de l’utilisation de cet outil de répression alors que 159 coupures d'internet ont été enregistrées dans 29 pays en 2020.
Les gouvernements bloquent délibérément l’accès à internet avec l’objectif commun de réduire au silence militants, journalistes et citoyens ordinaires.

Cela se produit généralement lors d’événements nationaux clés ou en période de conflit politique.
Les coupures délibérées d’internet sont extrêmement nuisibles. Elles:
- Portent atteinte à nos droits à la liberté d'expression et de réunion
- Perturbent la communication des personnes
- Paralysent les économies
- Dissimulent la violence d'État
Les gouvernements qui ont imposé le plus de coupures d’internet en 2021:
🇮🇳 Inde: 106 coupures
🇲🇲 Myanmar: 15 coupures
🇸🇩 Soudan: 5 coupures
🇮🇷 Iran: 5 coupures

#InternetShutdowns violate fundamental human rights and Ethiopian authorities must restore internet access in Tigray. We have repeatedly called for an immediate end to this shutdown, which has been ongoing for the past 2 years, throughout our participation at #IGF2022.
Tech and social media platforms must address legitimate concerns such as misinformation and hateful content, to fulfill their obligation to respect human rights, keep people safe as they come back online, and prevent authorities from attempting to justify any kind of disruptions.
Over 6 million people in Tigray have been cut off from the internet since Nov 2020, making it difficult for journalists and human rights defenders to document violations, leading to impunity with regards to the crimes committed in the region. #ReconnectTigray

BREAKING: A major lawsuit against spyware firm #NSO Group has been filed in the U.S.

A U.S. citizen is one of 15 journalists based in #ElSalvador who are victims of #Pegasus.

Via @RonanFarrow: newyorker.com/news/news-desk… #PegasusProject
"Normally, people get hacked once or twice or three times in rare situations. But, in this case, we saw a really intensive use," says Access Now's @pnigroh.
In the past few years, NSO has been added to the U.S. Entity List (a form of sanctioning) and has faced major lawsuits by Apple and Meta (WhatsApp).

Most recently this month, @TheJusticeDept ruled that NSO is also not entitled to immunity.

We have concerns that Twitter, under @elonmusk, has laid off its human rights, safety and AI ethics teams.

There's potential for mis/disinfo to spread — esp as the US votes during #midterm elections today.

Here are a few tips to spot and slow fake info🧵
theguardian.com/technology/202…
✅ Fact-check ✅

Pause before sharing information you’re not sure is true.

Check the source.

Beware of doctored images and memes that contain mis/disinformation.

Seek out your own news instead of relying on curated social feeds.
✅ Do not give lies more air time ✅

In most instances, we recommend not sharing or engaging with mis/disinformation.

If you do engage with the OP, move the conversation to the DMs.

We are seeing some viral Instagram posts that claim a new iOS update allows people to track your "precise location."

This is not quite right 🧵
While apps like Facebook and Instagram can track your location (if you have the setting on), random users don't have access to this information.

The most they can see is if you publicly tag your location in a post.
Just last week, Apple released an urgent iOS update that helps protect users against some serious security vulnerabilities, including ones that could allow hackers to completely take over devices.

The Indian gov’t is thwarting efforts to investigate the use of Pegasus spyware.

The Supreme Court today echoed sentiment shared by the public & parliamentarians alike since the #PegasusProject findings last year — “the Indian gov’t is not cooperating.”

ndtv.com/india-news/peg…
The Supreme Court now has the investigating committee’s report, which is not yet public, but reportedly states that malware was found in 5 out of the 29 phones examined, but that there was no “conclusive proof” of Pegasus spyware.
Four things need to be top of mind for the SC bench led by the Chief Justice of India:

1. Forensic analysis to trace spyware cannot be “conclusive” — the investigation must obtain direct information from the gov’t on procurement and use of spyware.
