  As Syrians continue national exams, the government ordered an Internet shutdown on 1st August 2022. Internet shutdowns during protests, exams or civil unrest impact the ability of citizens to get accurate information from government sources when they need it most. It also becomes harder for citizens to contact family members and friends in other parts of the country, or in other countries.
