  Coupure au niveau national

  Iraq has again experienced an exam-related Internet shutdown, the fifth such scheduled shutdown by the government since 1 June 2023. As we have repeatedly written about here on Pulse, Internet shutdowns cause great harm to a country’s economy and society and are in our opinion NOT the appropriate mechanism to cope with potential exam cheating.

  Kolhapur

  The Internet in Kolhapur was suspended amid unrest and protests in the city on 7 June 2023. It is believed to be imposed under Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code, which allows the government to impose curfews and other restrictions to maintain public order.Internet shutdowns during protests 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.

  Coupure au niveau national

  L'Irak a de nouveau connu une coupure d'Internet liée à un examen, la troisième coupure programmée par le gouvernement depuis le 1er juin 2023. Comme nous l'avons écrit à plusieurs reprises sur Pulse, les fermetures d'Internet causent de graves dommages à l'économie et à la société d'un pays et ne constituent PAS, à notre avis, le mécanisme approprié pour faire face à la tricherie potentielle aux examens.

  Despite positive comments from the Iraq Ministry of Communication that they would consider not shutting down the Internet to prevent cheating during academic exams in Iraq, the government did go ahead and shut down the Internet for a four-hour period. Measurements from Cloudflare, IODA, and OONI all document this shutdown. As we have repeatedly written about here on Pulse, Internet shutdowns cause great harm to a country's economy and society, and are in our opinion NOT the appropriate mechanism to cope with potential exam cheating.

  Blocage de service

  Messagerie instantanée, Réseaux sociaux

  Amidst public demonstrations over the sentencing of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko to jail, the government of Senegal blocked access to social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as to instant messaging services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger. Analysis from the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) is that ISPs are blocking sites and services by timing out TLS handshakes. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the protocol used to make secure connections (ex. "https") to websites and services. TLS connections begin with a "handshake" between the two sites where they set up the encryption mechanism. ISPs are apparently interfering with this handshake process so that a connection cannot be established. The Internet Society Senegal Chapter published a brief statement. An English translation is:

  Blocage de service

  Messagerie (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram), médias sociaux (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat)

  Beginning on Thursday, 17 May 2023, there were many reports of blockage of some social media sites and messaging services during a period of large protests by opposition parties against the ruling junta government. The government of Guinea has denied any blocking, but press organizations in Guinea noted their lack of access. Measurements by the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) showed issues connecting to specific social media sites and messaging services. On 22 May 2023, analysis by OONI indicated that this blocking seems to be happening by interference with Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections. Further measurements from OONI showed that most of the affected messaging services began having connectivity restored beginning around 23 May, with the last, Signal, have connectivity restored by 30 May.

It also becomes harder for citizens to contact family members and friends in other parts of the country, or in other countries.
