Dear friends,
This newsletter is a service for internet freedom defenders around the
world! Send us interesting updates, open positions, events, and resources
and we will share them in our next newsletter.
Please note, we will be transitioning the IFF Weekly to the Digital Rights
Weekly in coming weeks. We will be creating a better newsletter that better
meets the needs of the digital rights community. No action is required from
you at this time. The new Digital Rights Weekly will be coming from a
different email, so keep an eye out!
Here are our updates for the week of November 2 - 6:

*** Ethiopia Shuts Down Electricity, Telephone and Internet Services in
Tigray ***
The national authorities have shut down electricity, telephone and internet
services in Tigray after an army base was taken over by forces loyal to the
regional government of Tigray.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-54805088
*** Turkey Fines Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and
Periscope ***
Turkey has fined Facebook, along with its Instagram platform, as well as
Twitter, Google’s YouTube and China’s TikTok for not complying with the
country’s new social media law. The law brought in by the Erdogan
administration demands that social media companies store the data of their
Turkish subscribers in Turkey to enable direct access to the subscriber
data and content.

*** Nationwide Internet Disruptions Across Azerbaijan Since Late September
***
Azerbaijan's government has severely restricted, when not completely
blocked, Internet access since fighting with Armenia began in late
September. Pro-government media outlets have been spared from the
restrictions.

*** Citizen Lab’s 21 Recommendations on Privacy Protection Laws for the
Ontario Government **
The Ontario government recently requested feedback on how to improve the
province’s privacy protection laws. The Citizen Lab happily responded with
21 recommendations under four guidelines: overarching principles to guide
privacy reform in Ontario, consumer spyware and stalkware apps, data
exploitation by foreign platforms, and algorithmic policing technologies.

*** Limited Access To Circumvention Tools in Venezuela ***
The recent VeSin Filtro report provides an update on which circumvention
tools are still available for internet users in Venezuela. For years
Venezuelan users have experienced website blockades, affecting everything
from the media to initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

*** Article 19 Is Looking for Young Ambassadors for Its Next Campaign on
Disinformation in Ireland ***
In recent months, the challenges posed by disinformation to freedom of
expression and other human rights were widely discussed in the context of
COVID-19 in Ireland and across the world. Article19 is recruiting
volunteers for an exciting project on disinformation and
#FreedomOfExpression in Ireland. The deadline for applications is November,
12th.
