"A serious state does not leave the attention, habits, discipline, values and aspirations of its young people entirely to commercial algorithms.
A country that allows foreign-owned, profit-driven platforms to shape what its children admire, what its youth imitate, what its citizens fear, what its voters believe and what its communities resent has surrendered part of its sovereignty. Sovereignty is no longer only territorial. It is cognitive. It concerns the power to protect the mental, moral and informational environment in which a people forms judgment and pursues destiny.
Africa must understand this quickly"
