Gabon Suspends Social Media Amid Protests Over Living Costs

Gabon has suspended all social media platforms indefinitely, according to the country's media regulator. Bloomberg posted on X that this decision comes as the government confronts increasing protests driven by the rising cost of living. The suspension aims to curb the spread of information that could exacerbate the situation. The move has sparked concerns over freedom of expression and access to information in the nation. The government has not provided a timeline for when the suspension might be lifted.
