Tinubu and Akpabio are taking shocking steps to regulate social media in Nigeria! The Senate has advanced a bill that mandates social media platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat to establish physical offices in Nigeria. Sponsored by Senator Ned Nwoko, the bill seeks to strengthen data protection laws and increase accountability in Nigeria’s digital space. This proposed law also introduces strict regulations for bloggers, requiring them to have verifiable offices, maintain employee records, and register under a national association. While Senate President Godswill Akpabio supports regulating social media platforms, he warns that blogger restrictions need further review. Critics fear this could be a disguised attempt to control online speech and silence dissent. Is this bill truly about transparency and taxation, or is it a move to censor social media? Will platforms comply, or will this backfire on digital freedom in Nigeria? Watch now for full details, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for the latest updates!
