Mozambique's Controversial Telecom Blackout Decree Sparks Outrage

In Mozambique, civil society groups are up in arms against a government decree allowing the blocking of telecom networks. The decree, which can suspend telecom services for up to 48 hours without a court order, is being challenged for potentially threatening free speech and access to information, especially in times of political unrest. What does it mean for you? If you're in Mozambique, this could mean sudden internet blackouts during critical times, limiting your access to information and ability to communicate. For everyone else, it's a reminder to appreciate and protect the freedom of expression and access to information you currently enjoy.
