💨 Abstract

Mauritius's communications regulator has ordered a suspension of social media platforms until after the November 11 general election due to a wiretapping scandal involving politicians, police, journalists, and civil society members. Conversations were leaked on social media since mid-October, and Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth is seeking to retain his Militant Socialist Movement's parliamentary majority.
