Governments are increasingly resorting to total internet blackouts and digital shutdowns to control the flow of information during elections and civil unrest. By cutting off digital networks, authorities effectively blindfold independent journalists, preventing them from filing live reports or documenting potential state-sponsored human rights abuses. This forced digital isolation completely paralyzes modern newsrooms and leaves citizens vulnerable to state propaganda.
Bharat Media Association examines the severe consequences of these digital shutdowns, advocating for global anti-censorship tech to bypass state-imposed blackouts and preserve the public's right to information.
