This commentary surveys 2024 developments in Africa’s digital landscape, highlighting rapid biometric adoption (such as SIM card deactivations tied to biometric registration, humanitarian aid controls, and data protection gaps) alongside growing concerns over privacy and potential misuse. It also examines the surge of misinformation/disinformation driven by geopolitical influence—particularly from Russia and China—amid a busy election year, and notes emerging local countermeasures like Nigeria’s #NoGoFallMaga awareness efforts.
