加蓬宣布解除八个月社交媒体禁令

加蓬政府宣布恢复社交媒体访问，结束自2月17日起实施的为期八个月的禁令1。加蓬高级通信局曾以在线内容引发冲突和加剧分裂为由，对包括Facebook、TikTok、YouTube和Instagram在内的平台实施禁令1。该决定在广泛批评下于周六通过电视声明撤销1。

这一禁令对这个250万人口的中非国家造成了重大影响，特别是年轻用户被迫使用VPN规避限制1。加蓬总统布里斯·奥利圭·恩圭马曾在两年前发动政变，结束了邦戈家族超过五十年的统治1。恩圭马在去年的选举中获得超过90%的投票率1。

Gabon's government has announced the restoration of social media access following an eight-month prohibition that began on February 17 1. The High Authority of Communication had implemented the ban citing concerns that online content was fueling conflict and deepening divisions within the country 1. The decision to rescind the ban was announced on Saturday through a televised statement, coming amid widespread criticism 1.

The restriction had significantly impacted Gabon, a Central African nation with a population of 2.5 million, particularly affecting younger users who resorted to virtual private networks to circumvent the prohibition 1. The blocked platforms included Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram 1. President Brice Oligui Nguema, who secured over 90 percent of the vote in last year's election, came to power two years ago when he led a coup that ended more than fifty years of rule by the Bongo family 1.
