La @rightscon.org aurait dû commencer aujourd'hui. Et Coupe Circuit aurait dû être à Lusaka depuis hier. Malheureusement, le plus grand rdv des défenseurs des droits numériques a dû être annulé au tout dernier moment. On vous explique tout ici: www.coupecircuit.org/rightscon-lu...

La @rightscon.org, le plus grand rendez-vous des défenseurs des droits numériques, a dû être annulée au tout dernier moment. En cause : le gouvernement chinois a fait pression sur le gouvernement zambien pour exclure des participants taïwanais de l'événement. www.coupecircuit.org/rightscon-lu...

RightsCon n'aura donc pas lieu cette année... Le gouvernement zambien a "repoussé" la conférence pour des raisons de "sécurité" avant de justifier sa décision par les thèmes abordés durant la conférence...

⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 100 hours. Metrics show internet connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels as the regional conflict escalates. The regime-imposed blackout is the second this year and follows the shutdown in January when thousands were killed.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from February 24, 2026, to March 4, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of February 28. The drop in connectivity aligns with nation-scale internet blackout imposed during joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.

Nearly all of the Iranian internet has been down for 43+ hours but, as was the case with last month's shutdown, there is a tiny amount of traffic still getting passed. Within the remaining traffic, we can see subsequent outages, possibly caused by continued US/IL airstrikes…🧵

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now surpassed 48 hours, leaving its population of 90 million out of touch as war spreads. Shutdowns are a go-to tactic for the regime, with the previous instance in January lasting several weeks and masking severe human rights violations.
