The Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) is asking for public consultations on a framework to regulate use of social networks in Mauritius. One of the ideas is requiring Internet users using social networks to install as an ICTA-issued Certificate Authority certificate in their operating system or browser so that certificates can be issued for domains such as facebook.com. This is required to allow a Man in the Middle (MITM) proxy server intercept, decrypt, inspect, log, and/or block access to URLs. The public consultation paper is accessible on:
https://www.icta.mu/docs/2021/Social_Media_Public_Consultation.pdf
The public has up to May 20th 2021 to send their comments about the consultation paper to the email address contained in the PDF document linked above.
