Iraq was the nation with the largest number of internet shutdowns in 2023, according to a survey from Top 10 VPN.
Its 66 shutdowns almost all occurred in relation to school exams, in an attempt to prevent cheating.
Internet blackouts lasted a total of 185 hours, while social media shutdowns totalled 280 hours.
The company estimates the total cost of the restrictions at $328.5 million.
