Social Networks: Seydi Gassama Warns Against Regulation That Reminds of the Tyranny of 2021-2024

Seydi Gassama, the executive director of Amnesty International Senegal, warned that the regulation of social networks could lead to a new period of repression similar to that experienced between 2021 and 2024. He emphasizes that these platforms have played an empowering role for Senegalese citizens. The ongoing reform aims to create a National Media Regulation Council, but Gassama warns of the consequences for public freedoms. He calls for vigilance against any attempts to restrict the digital expression space.
