Blocking the US platforms reduces citizens' access to information and their ability to get their stories out to the world, but it also pushes them onto Chinese platforms that might be more willing to play ball with the junta on surveillance and censorship. https://t.co/8lG2qN8N1q

It undermines the public conversation and the rights of people to make their voices heard. The Open Internet is increasingly under threat around the world. We will continue to advocate to end destructive government-led shutdowns. https://t.co/iYcPFCNUVs
