Gabon | Government Suspends Social Media Access Nationwide

Last week, officials in Gabon suspended access to social media platforms indefinitely. To justify the suspension, the country’s telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country’s institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people’s ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

• Russia to Scale Internet Filtering with AI

Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet regulator, is building an AI-powered censorship system with a 2.27 billion ruble ($29 million) budget. According to analysts, the system will use AI to instantly block mirror sites hosting banned content and, more ominously, to identify the people creating those mirrors. The move would further restrict the space for dissent and independent online information in Russia. FinancialFreedomReport.org

China | Push for Yuan as Global Reserve Currency

China has reiterated its ambition for the yuan to attain global reserve currency status. In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What’s new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.

- Kenya | Central Bank Warns Banknote Bouquets Could Land You in Jail

Kenya’s central bank warned Kenyans in the lead-up to Valentine’s Day that making bouquets out of colorful banknotes could be punished with a seven-year jail term. Officials argue that banknotes used in bouquets are often “folded, rolled, glued, stapled, pinned,” or otherwise damaged, which they say compromises their integrity, defaces the national currency, and increases the cost of replacing damaged notes.
