🚨 Somalia Bans Messaging App Telegram and Gambling Site 1XBet Due to Societal Concerns 🚨
#Somalia has recently prohibited the use of cryptocurrency-friendly messaging app Telegram, along with social media app TikTok and online betting site 1XBet.
The Ministry of Communications and Technology (MOCT) declared the shutdown, citing concerns over their impact on Somali youth and society.
The decision also aims to curb the spread of indecent content and propaganda. The move doesn't seem to affect Somalia's stance on cryptocurrency investments, as they remain legal.
While the government's action is intended to preserve cultural values, it's unclear if it will influence the country's cryptocurrency adoption. This decision contrasts with Iraq’s recent lifting of the Telegram ban due to security issues.
