Approximately 27 million people were left without connectivity

How would you go without internet for three days?

Well that’s exactly what’s happening in India.

Indian authorities have blocked internet access for about 27 million people in the state of Punjab for a third straight day .

It’s one of the country’s most extensive blackouts in recent years – as police search for a Sikh separatist who is on the run.

The government initially announced a 24-hour internet ban as authorities launched an operation to arrest the popular leader within the movement.

The internet shutdown affects everyone in the northern Indian state and was extended by the government for a third time.

It’s all under a law that allows the connection to be cut to “prevent violence and any disturbance of peace and public order.”

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
