Salim Azim Assani, who lives in Chad, is finding out the hard way after living under internet censorship for more than 365 days and counting. Assani, 33, runs WenakLabs, a digital co-working space in the Chadian capital of N'Djamena and has resorted to using expensive Virtual Private Networks to circumvent the shutdown."It's absolutely necessary to use VPN and very often we find ourselves abroad using it and only realize that we don't need it elsewhere," Assani said.
"For young people who constitute a greater chunk of the populace, reliance on the internet for daily functions has become a must, business, both small and large wouldn't be able to continue their everyday activities should the government keep the people cut out," Abdullahi said.
