The Freedom Online Coalition (FOC) expresses deep concern over the growing trend of intentional state-sponsored disruptions of access to or dissemination of information online. Measures intended to render Internet and mobile network services inaccessible or effectively unusable for a specific population or location and which stifle exercise of the freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly online undermine the many benefits of the use of the internet and ICTs. In doing so, such disruptions challenge the FOC’s goal of protecting and extending an open and interoperable Internet, as affirmed in the Tallinn Agenda.
