Live network data from Netblocks, showed that the services on the social media applications were restricted across various internet service providers in Zambia. The metrics from Netblocks also corroborated 'widespread user reports of loss of access to the services'. Human rights activists had earlier in a letter called on the government to desist from shutting down the internet on election day to promote freedom of expression and transparent access to information.
