Concerns Rise Over Gabon's Social Media Restrictions Amid Protests
🤖AI Özeti
Gabon has faced increasing scrutiny over its decision to indefinitely suspend major social media platforms, a move activists claim is part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. The suspension, which came amid anti-government protests, has led to a surge in the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) as citizens seek to bypass the restrictions. Reports indicate that gendarmerie are actively stopping individuals to confiscate devices with VPNs, further escalating tensions between the government and its citizens.
