The Government of Equatorial Guinea has imposed a restriction on its citizens, prohibiting the downloading and sharing of multimedia files via mobile data on WhatsApp.

This move comes after the government issued directives to telecommunications companies, urging them to implement measures that would limit access to inappropriate content.

Also, the government suspended all civil servants who have had s3xual relations in the offices of the ministries. Another measure was the installation of surveillance cameras in all government offices.

Hundreds of ‘workout’ tapes involving a high-ranking Equatorial Guinean civil servant with other mens’ wives have done the rounds on social media, prompting the authorities to attempt to curb their spread.
