Hello, It is sad for me to be in such a position to reach out. The situation in my country, Mauritius, is serious. I know that the PSF's objectives are different from this situation, however free speech and internet privacy are about to be breached.
On 14th of April 2021[1], while the country was under national lockdown due to the global pandemic, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority of Mauritius (ICTA) which is a parastatal body regulating ICT laws in the country released a proposal for intercepting, monitoring, archiving and manipulating social media traffic using a man-in-the-middle style attack[2]. This proposal is mostly similar to what Kazakhstan has done. It involves the installation of a custom root certificate to enable decryption of traffic by the ICTA. My humble request to the community is to share this, send your comments on this proposal to socialmediaconsultat...@icta.mu and to support in this fight.
