Niger Reportedly Considers Regulating Social Media to Strengthen National Security
A new regulation is aimed at controlling WhatsApp, Facebook*, and Telegram groups exceeding 50 members.
While promoting responsible use of digital platforms, the proposal seeks to:
🟠prevent disinformation,
🟠online abuse,
🟠threats to public stability, while promoting responsible use of digital platforms.
In a fragile regional context, the measure would aim to protect citizens and preserve social cohesion against the abuses of the digital space.
*Facebook and WhatsApp are owned by the company Meta, which is banned in Russia over extremist activities
