PROTECTING AND ADVANCING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
AND PRIVACY IN THE ICT SECTOR
GNI’s Country Legal Frameworks Resource (CLFR) has been updated with three new country reports from Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, which aim to support the efforts of legal researchers, activists, and ICT companies to examine governments’ legal authorities to intercept communications, obtain access to communications data, or restrict access to content and communications services in more than 50 countries. Working with GNI’s membership, including local experts, to produce the reports, these additions are particularly relevant in view of Cameroon’s history of network disruptions, the recent privatization of the telecommunications market in Ethiopia, and the ongoing debates around content governance and data protection in Nigeria. If you are interested in contributing to these or other CLFR reports, including new countries that are not yet covered, please fill out this feedback form.
