[Governance] Virtual Roundtable: Internet DURING a shut-down

[sivasubramanian muthusamy]

With factories, offices, public places, shops, transportation and schools
shut down for 3 weeks, and another week or so for normal life to resume, it
is the Internet that could make life go on. While it is necessary to keep
an eye on fake news and the dangers of fake news causing panic, it is
equally important to keep the Internet open, with a heightened awareness
that everyone needs the Internet, even to seek medical help, and more to
preserve mass psychological well being. “More Internet”  here implies an
approach that is on the other end of the tendency to lock down, it implies
a greater willingness to keep more of the people of the world more
connected, and to make news, educational, spiritual and entertainment
content more available and also to think of more of curated streams  for
e.g, YouTube curated streams, more of Internet Radio, a better Facebook
experience etc...
This is also a good time to collaborate online...
