Growing Number of Govts Shutting Down Internet To Quash Dissent
BATTLE FOR WORLD / ENM NEWS | September 3, 2019: Internet shutdowns have become one of the defining tools of government’s true or instigated repression in the 21st century as the Internet becomes weaponized and as growing number of countries talk about quashing dissent.
The shutdowns do more than stunt political voices in the true or fake democratic process, because they can destroy economies and individual businesses, as well as drastically disrupt the daily life of ordinary citizens.
The ruling elites hiding behind corporate media in the West typically use the Internet during times of civil unrest or political instability, and shutdown allows officials to stifle the flow of information true or instigated about government wrongdoing or to stop communication among activists.
“People always had this simplistic view that technology could only be used in one way — that it was this great tool for democracy,” said Kuda Hove, a digital rights researcher at the Media Institute of Southern Africa. But after the emergence of the shutdown, he said, “it dawned on them that the government could use technology against the people.”
