AFRICA - Restricted Media

Recent events in East Africa have seen governments shut the media and restrict social media and messaging platforms. Considerations whilst travelling to locations where digital restrictions and surveillance is in place should include:

• Appropriate laptop with only essential information

• Appropriate phone with encryption and only essential information (may also need a satellite option)

• Encrypted messaging and calls with settings prepared for data protection

• VPN on devices

• Mobile phone signal blocker

• Encrypted data storage
