Algeria has temporarily blocked Facebook and some other social media networks . This was as a result of curbing examination malpractice after Almost half of students are being forced to retake the baccalaureate exam, after the initial session was marred by cheating due to online leaking.
The country has taken the decision to cut off access to social networks
after papers and exam questions were leaked online. The government said that it had taken the
decision so that people would no longer be able to share leaked papers.
In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry of Post and Information and
Communication Technology said that the "cut of social networks has a
direct relationship with the matriculation exams" which begin on Sunday.
It added that all other parts of the internet were not affected.
