Senegal has restricted access to internet services from Monday due to the spread of “hateful messages” on social media, the country’s communications minister said in a statement, as opposition leader Ousmane Sonko is formally charged with fomenting an insurrection.
“Due to the dissemination of hateful and subversive messages on social networks … mobile data internet is being temporarily suspended during certain hours from Monday July 31”, Communications Minister Moussa Bocar Thiam said in a statement.
