There are four air filters at #NAMApolicy, enough to cover twice the area of this room.

People are smart. Even in the face of #shutdowns they survive. Alternate means of #communication develop. Alternate support systems- community mohalla groups come up. We find a way. The question is, why put people through this at all? #InternetBan #NAMApolicy @CSR_India pic.twitter.com/m9P53G7gEV

#NAMApolicy in net neutrality you talk about internet as a utility, then you also ban the utility 😎

When asked what they (administrators) have done to control a situation, #InternetShutdown seems to be the easiest answer!#NAMApolicy

.@SociallyBlog internet ban in big cities make international news. If the intent to shutdown internet is to stop dialogue on the conflict in fear of unverified reporting, it backfires precisely for the same reason #NAMApolicy pic.twitter.com/C3lteaMjtI

Friendly smiley stress balls for all the participants to work out the indignation and anger that the #NAMApolicy event on internet shutdowns certainly evoke. @medianama @FNFSouthAsia pic.twitter.com/QJ3RgeD3oj

#Internetbans are justified on the basis of countering the spread of rumours and fake news. Why not use #SocialMedia to counter #fakenews with correct information? Banning is not the answer.#NAMApolicy

While examining issue around #InternetShutdowns, important to note that there is a bigger #FoE picture here. Must not be viewed or dealt with in isolation. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/9Mji1C2eMZ

The same picture includes difficulties with setting up #communityradio stations; persecution of cartoonists who lampoon the establishment; the widening #DigitalDivide (and associated telecom/internet access issues for remote communities). #NAMAPolicy (2/2)
