  Regional shutdown

  Poonch and Rajouri

  Authorities ordered mobile Internet services to be suspended in Poonch and neighboring Rajouri district in the Jammu and Kashmir region from 23 to 30 December 2023 as a precautionary measure to check rumor-mongering and prevent any law and order problem following a conflict in the region. Internet shutdowns during protests or civil unrest impact the citizens' ability 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 other countries.

According to one report, the shutdown happened before an online rally by supporters of former president, Imran Khan, that happened from 21:00 local time. So far government authorities have not yet provided a statement. Measurements by the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) showed issues connecting to specific social media and video-sharing sites.

  Guinea experienced a second service blocking event in 2023, following the fourteen day event in May. As of Friday, 24 November 2023, social media sites and messaging services were reportedly inaccessible in-country without the use of a VPN and several independent radio stations are being jammed. According to one report, government authorities have not yet provided a statement. Measurements by the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) showed issues connecting to specific social media sites and messaging services and indicated that this blocking seems to be happening by interference with Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections and DNS-based tampering. Beginning on 23 February 2024, OONI measurements began to show a restoration of services and an end to the blocking.

  Regional shutdown

  Kurdistan Province

  An Internet shutdown occurred in the Kurdistan Province of Iran from around 12:00 to 14:30 local time. Reports indicate this coincided with the Iranian President's visit to the province. It's been over a year since the death of a young woman in police custody sparked protests across the country. Iranians in Kurdish cities have since faced periodic Internet disruptions, service blocking, and total shutdowns to 'quell' such protests or chances of protest. As we repeatedly write about on Pulse, Internet shutdowns harm a country’s economy and society.
