L'arrivée d'Internet Pro en Iran est la nouvelle pierre à l'édifice d'un internet à plusieurs vitesses ou "internet de classe". Un système que l’@IranHrm appelle "apartheid numérique". On vous explique comment ça marche. coupecircuit.org/internet-pro-p…

Just now: US @ChinaSelect calls 🇨🇳CCP interference with rights & tech conference in #Zambia The #RightsCon cancellation scandal is expanding... and official condemnations keep coming. We wouldn't know any of this without @accessnow's decision to shine a light on it 1/
Select Committee on China@ChinaSelect

The CCP's influence reaches far beyond its borders. Reports indicate China pressured #Zambia to cancel RightsCon 2026, the world’s largest gathering focused on internet freedom, after Taiwanese participants planned to attend. Organizers say they were told the event could only proceed if sensitive topics were censored and certain communities, like Taiwanese participants, were excluded. Panels were set to cover China’s cyberattacks, surveillance tech, and global disinformation campaigns. Silencing those conversations isn’t diplomacy, it’s coercion. The U.S. and our partners must push back against the CCP’s efforts to export authoritarian control over the internet. wired.com/story/the-chin…

Here is the video of Hon. Felix Chipota Mutati, Zambia's Minister of Technology and Science @MoTS_Zambia, celebrating at the signing of the MOU to host @rightscon. The same minister abruptly canceled the conference less than a week before it was supposed to take place. #RightsCon

The Chinese government pressured Zambia to screen and exclude Taiwanese speakers from attending @rightscon, leading to the largest international convention on digital rights being canceled a week before it takes place, the host org @accessnow tells WIRED.

⚠️ There have been at least FIVE serious, international coercion events against 🇹🇼 by 🇨🇳 in a week. This is a very serious escalation, with Beijing seeking to control the skies + policy of other countries + simple travel plans of Taiwanese people. 1️⃣ Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar bow to 🇨🇳 pressure to revoke President Lai’s flight permits. 2️⃣ Czech Republic, Germany reportedly refused to permit Lai’s transit. 3️⃣ @rightscon summit in Zambia cancelled reportedly because 🇨🇳 whinged about Taiwanese participation. 4️⃣ @UNESCO (due to be held in Zambia) now having to be subjected to additional screening to ensure certain delegates are excluded (who do you think they might mean?). 5️⃣ Event with Taiwanese ambassador in Argentina summarily cancelled, suspect PRC pressure. Lawmakers pressured not to attend another meeting about authoritarian influence. More on this one later. Beijing is trying to shrink the world for Taiwanese. The free world should respond by sending invitations to 🇹🇼 and offering the kind of welcome visitors always receive when they go to Taipei.
Yaqiu Wang 王亚秋@Yaqiu

Local reporting now suggests that China pressured the cancelation of @rightscon. If true, this is the latest example of the CCP successfully exporting censorship far beyond its borders. But it is also a spectacularly bad move by both governments. 1/3

#RightsCon 2026 has been cancelled, which is a serious setback for global digital rights engagement. Thraets had planned to be there to exhibit. We stand in solidarity with @accessnow and the broader digital rights community in defending open civic space and internet freedom.
