Senegal Announces Plan To Regulate Social Media

Senegal’s President Macky Sall has said he plans to regulate social media.
Sall described social media as a cancer of modern societies, noting that no organized society can accept what is happening on social media.
Political tensions during local elections in January led to fears of widespread violence via online mobilization.
This followed a case of the main opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, who was accused of rape.
