Facebook and Twitter are to be officially banned from Nenggog COMPLETELY on January 22, 2025

So was it a Nazi salute, or not?

In a decisive move aimed at safeguarding societal integrity, the National Legislative Assembly of the Sovereign State of Nenggog has passed the Social Prohibition Act (SPA Act), which officially bans the use and access to popular social media platforms Facebook and Twitter (now referred to as "X") within designated Affected Regions. The Act, spearheaded by Chairman Onyx Adrien Blackhawk, will take effect starting January 22, 2025, at 11:30 PM IST.

The decision comes in the wake of significant geopolitical events, including the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2024, and the subsequent challenges that have arisen in the global political landscape. The Assembly cited the detrimental effects of social media on public discourse and societal harmony as a primary motivation for the ban.

The Affected Regions, which include territories acquired during the petition of Schpektenia—specifically Mille Lacs Lake, Pelican Lake, and Lougee Lake—will see internet service providers mandated to implement measures to block access to these platforms. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has been tasked with enforcing the provisions of the Act, ensuring compliance through collaboration with local internet service providers.

Chairman Blackhawk emphasized the need for decisive action to protect the interests and well-being of Nenggog's citizens. "In light of recent events, including the troubling actions of public figures that have sparked outrage and division, it is imperative that we take steps to foster a more harmonious society," he stated during the Assembly session.

The Act outlines penalties for individuals or organizations that violate the prohibition, which may include fines and restrictions on internet access. Additionally, a reporting mechanism will be established to encourage community involvement in monitoring compliance.

Critics of the Act have raised concerns about freedom of expression and the potential for overreach in regulating online discourse. However, supporters argue that the ban is a necessary measure to combat misinformation and promote a more constructive public dialogue.

As the Sovereign State of Nenggog moves forward with this legislation, the implications for social media use in the region remain to be seen. The government is expected to closely monitor the situation and adjust its approach as necessary to maintain societal harmony.
