Before we find out why this services were blocked in Algeria, just imagine life without social media at this era of technological advancement. Seriously, i can't oo. (do or die)
Well, it's still the same old story as the Algerian Government claimed twitter, facebook & 3G services generally was disabled inorder to eliminate exam malpractices. They said that the ongoing baccalaureate exam papers leaked on several social media platforms.
Baccalaureate is a school-leaving examination that qualifies candidates who were successful for entrance to university, just like WAEC in West Africa.
The Algerian Government says that they took this decision to disable social media to protect students de la publication of “bogus questions on those
networks”
Meanwhile, it is reported that more than 555,000 students in the North African nation of Algeria will be retaking their exams because of this malpractice issues.
As a matter of fact, this is not the first time something like this has happened, as the ban placed on whatsapp in brazil was lifted last month. So, we hope they revise this. But what will be your reaction if this system is brought to Nigeria? Kindly comment below.
God forbid o! Because we can't do anything, except serious and violent protest. Hnm, it won't be easy o!
