Mozambique Decree Threatens Internet Freedom

In Mozambique, a new decree allows the government to block access to telecommunications for up to 48 hours without a court order, all in the name of "protecting society." Civil organizations, however, are not buying it, arguing that this could spell disaster for freedom of expression and access to information, especially during times of political tension. They're challenging the decree's constitutionality, fearing it might be used to stifle protests and limit online information flow. What does it mean for you? If you're in Mozambique, this could mean potential internet blackouts when you need it most. It might get harder to access news and communicate during critical times, impacting your ability to stay informed and connected.
