Description

This Routledge book examines the transformative impact of social media across Africa and the governmental responses designed to control its growth. As social media platforms have expanded across the continent, they have become vital tools for resistance, self-expression, and cultural identity among Africa's youth populations. However, this digital empowerment has prompted African governments to implement legal and extra-legal strategies to restrict online speech and constrain digital activism. The book analyses how the traditional "gatekeeper state" model has adapted to the challenges posed by social media's rhetorical freedom and explores the tension between digital liberation and state control. Through detailed case studies and critical analysis, this work investigates the mechanisms of censorship, the nature of digital dissidence movements, and the implications for African societies navigating the intersection of technology, governance, and freedom of expression.
