The #KeepItOn campaign unites and organizes global organizations and efforts to end internet shutdowns. The campaign was launched by a coalition of about 70 organizations in 2016 at RightsCon in Silicon Valley. Membership of the coalition has since increased rapidly to more than 334 members from 106 countries around the world ranging from civil society, rights, and advocacy groups to research centers, detection networks, foundations, and media organizations. This report is a publication of Access Now for the #KeepItOn coalition and was written by Zach Rosson, Felicia Anthonio, and Carolyn Tackett in collaboration with the Access Now team.

A note on our data This #KeepItOn report looks at incidents of internet shutdowns documented by Access Now and the #KeepItOn coalition in 2023. While we try to build a comprehensive database, our data relies on technical measurement as well as contextual information, such as news reports or personal accounts. The constraints of our methodology mean that there may be cases of internet shutdowns that have gone unreported, and numbers are likely to change if and when new information becomes available after puiblication. In 2023, we gained insight into shutdowns from previous years that were added to the dataset retrospectively, and documentation of these changes can be found here: https://accessnow.org/keepiton-data. All data below reflects the most up-todate information as of publication.
