The Dark Side of the Kill Switch: Inside 2025's Record-Breaking Internet Shutdowns 313 blackouts. 52 countries. One global crisis Internet shutdowns are no longer just blunt nationwide blackouts. From Uganda to Iran, governments are now using sophisticated tools to cut off Starlink, exempt their own institutions, and silence critics, while ordinary citizens are left completely offline. In Iran, a blackout has now lasted 31 days, on track to become the longest complete internet shutdown ever recorded. We speak to Access Now's Felicia Anthonio and Zach Rosson about the rise of digital authoritarianism, the new tactics governments are using, and the growing resistance movement fighting to keep the world connected. The UK Government Wants to Restrict VPNs for Teens – But Uses Them Itself The UK is considering restricting teenagers from using VPNs to bypass online age checks under its "Growing Up in the Online World" consultation. But a new investigation from TechRadar and VPN Managing Editor Sam Woodhams has found that multiple UK government departments and public bodies regularly purchase and use the very same technology – typically enterprise VPNs for cybersecurity. Critics say the paradox raises a simple question: if VPNs are essential for protecting official data, why shouldn't ordinary citizens have the same right to privacy and security? The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz.

Access Now demands end to Iran’s continued internet blackout amid war Access Now condemns the ongoing near-total internet shutdown in Iran and urgently calls on authorities to immediately restore full internet access.

Reminder: Iran has been offline since Feb 28, when U.S. + Israeli strikes began. Not a glitch.

When bombs fell, Iranian authorities pulled the plug, leaving millions with no internet, no visibility, no calls for help, no accountability. End the shutdown. #KeepItOn

Meanwhile, those responsible for the shutdown perpetrate atrocities hoping that the information gap grant them impunity.

As the publication of our #KeepItOn report approaches (stay tuned for more), we can already say that shutdowns in conflict and violence are not going away anytime soon. 3/6
