    ?”Social media platforms have helped Africans create jobs as Influencers and shed light on issues like #EndSARS in Nigeria. However some argue that it is negatively impacting African Youth. Should African Governments regulate social media”?

    African governments can regulate social media when there is a threat to African culture. This regulation has to be relative because we are in a digital world. Most businesses are on social media. So Africa will be backward if they have to regulate.

      Thanks for your response Mme. Being factual, what are the negative influences of social media to the African youths then?

    What we need is a mindset shift and not throw back the responsibility of taming our attitudes to the government. Africans need to shape their minds to be able to our grow negative influences

    African Governments have already regulated social media and allowed more access to porn. When you search important and educative sites the government has blocked but try any porn site it will open without stress. African government has prioritised things that are not helpful to things that will educate Africa.
