Access Now — publication: #KeepItOn annual report: 'Emboldened Offenders, Endangered Communities' documented record 296 internet shutdowns in 54 countries in 2024, up from 283 in 39 countries in 2023. Coalition of 300+ organizations globally.

NoteThe source confirms the core statistics: 296 shutdowns in 54 countries in 2024 (up from 283 in 39 countries in 2023), the report title 'Emboldened offenders, endangered communities: internet shutdowns in 2024', and the #KeepItOn coalition involvement. However, the claim states 'India, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Russia accounted for 210 of the 296 shutdowns.' The source provides individual country figures: Myanmar (85) + India (84) + Pakistan (21) + Russia (19) = 209 shutdowns, not 210. This is a minor discrepancy of 1 shutdown. The source does not explicitly state the coalition has '300+ organizations' — this detail is unverifiable from the provided text. The publication date (February 24, 2025) is not visible in the source text provided.

The actual report content with the claimed statistics (296 shutdowns in 54 countries, 283 in 39 countries for 2023, the 210 shutdowns in four countries, and the coalition size) is not included in the provided source text. To verify these specific claims, the full report text would be needed.
