💨 Abstract

Mauritius's communication regulator has ordered a temporary ban on social media platforms ahead of the country's general election on November 10. The ban, which will last until November 11, follows the leak of sensitive conversations involving politicians, police, journalists, and civil society members on social media. The regulator cited "illegal postings" as the reason for the ban. The Prime Minister's office claims the restriction is necessary to preserve national security and integrity.
