Efforts to document and report on internet shutdowns globally have typically focused on tallying the numbers of shutdown events. Not all shutdowns are made equal, however, with some incidents lasting mere hours, while others last months, if not years. There is a need to rethink how we track the occurrence and impact of shutdowns and internet restrictions. The purpose of this roundtable will be to review existing approaches and explore challenges and possible alternatives.
