Overview

Internet shutdowns refer to deliberate disruptions of internet connectivity imposed by government authorities. These shutdowns involve the temporary suspension of internet services across specific regions or entire states, typically ordered through various legal mechanisms. Authorities often implement these measures citing reasons such as preventing unrest during protests, stopping the spread of misinformation, maintaining public order during communal tensions, or as security measures during exams or important events.
