WhatsApp’s Role in Equatorial Guinea’s Ban on Sharing Engoga’s S3x Tape
In response to a controversial scandal, Equatorial Guinea has implemented restrictions preventing citizens from downloading or sharing explicit content involving the government official Engonga via WhatsApp.
The incident, which has sparked considerable public attention, led authorities to impose these digital restrictions to limit the spread of the sensitive material and manage its impact on the official’s reputation and the country’s image.
Equatorial Guinea’s actions reflect a broader trend of government intervention in managing online content related to sensitive or scandalous issues, aiming to curb widespread circulation and potential unrest.
