"Mauritius has blocked all social media platforms until November 11, amid a wiretapping scandal that has led to the leak of sensitive audio recordings involving politicians, journalists, and foreign diplomats. The government has cited national security concerns as the reason for the ban, but opposition parties have accused the ruling party of trying to silence critics ahead of the upcoming general election. Multiple social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, are currently inaccessible in Mauritius. The move has raised concerns about freedom of speech and the potential impact on democratic processes."
