Optima: Defending the Internet with Data

What we have learned

OPTIMA’s Internet Shutdowns Advocacy Needs Assessment surveyed 142 civil society organizations to understand the most pressing challenges civil society organizations face in fighting to prevent and curtail internet shutdowns, the resource and skill gaps they feel they need to fill to be more effective in this advocacy, and the opportunities for support from funders and global advocacy groups. As part of this research, we found:

The threat is high

— 60% of respondents in our research survey said a shutdown in the next year is likely or very likely

But capacity is low

— 49% of the respondents assessed capacity as either nonexistent or weak

— 84% of respondents that have never worked on shutdowns report that they do not have any preparatory measures in place in case of an internet shutdown.

A white button works well
