Tomorrow is #Elections Day in #Liberia. We hope government does not shut down/restrict Internet access as they did in 2019 and during subsequent protests.

Social media block in #Liberia on June 7 lasted for about 12hrs. Information Minister told @CNN it was because of "security concerns": https://t.co/F0XfBJRuum

It's sad to see #Liberia joining the #Internet #Censorship Hall of Shame.

[Kpetermeni Siakor @tksiakor]

Since 7am today, social media sites + apps remain blocked in #Liberia as the #SaveTheState protest goes on. There is no word from the 2 major telcos about the block. I can confirm that @Facebook + Messenger, @Instagram, @WhatsApp, and @Twitter remain blocked. Tweeting via a VPN.

Now I wonder if the Regulator was planning on informing tech professionals about the drafting of the new #Cybersecurity law. #LiberiaCyber
