Surveillance Cameras to Curb S3x Tape Leak in Equatorial Guinea
Following a recent scandal in Equatorial Guinea involving the release of over 400 explicit videos linked to high-ranking officials and public figures, the government has responded with stricter security measures.
Vice President Teddy Nguema announced plans to install surveillance cameras in government offices to prevent future misconduct and enforce public service regulations.
This move has raised privacy concerns among citizens, who fear increased monitoring in their workplaces.
Additionally, the government has restricted access to multimedia sharing on WhatsApp via mobile data, purportedly to curb the spread of these videos, which surfaced during a fraud investigation involving a high-ranking official.
The restrictions have sparked frustration, with some citizens viewing these actions as punitive and overreaching, impacting daily communication and personal privacy.
