Social media bans don't work.

Yet it's happening globally as leaders try to grab headlines with creeping digital ID checks.

This doesn't take on how platforms are designed to capture users' attention with harmful content through data-driven algorithms so they can sell ads.

A global movement to #stopKillingInternet is coming.

Bans will wall off the open Internet. Kids locked out and adults pushed through digital ID checks.

Connection and access to information is being swept away for a policy that leaves platforms free to continue promoting harmful content for profit.

Stop Killing the Internet

Governments are walling off the open internet. We are a global movement opposing restrictions — and building a better internet.

@openrightsgroup I thought the bans affected social media platforms only? They are not the ‘open internet’, but gated communities.

Regular websites shouldn’t be affected? We need to teach kids to build websites like we did in the 90s.
