BREAK: Burkina Faso Bans Pornography as Part of Moral Reforms

The government of Burkina Faso has officially banned access to pornographic materials and websites, a move initiated under the leadership of President Ibrahim Traoré.

This decision is part of the broader moral and societal reforms introduced by the populist military officer, who assumed power after a 2022 coup.

The ban is aimed at curbing access to content deemed harmful to societal values and promoting what the government refers to as moral health.

Access to pornographic websites has already been restricted, with authorities stating that this is a step toward safeguarding cultural integrity and community welfare.

While the move has received mixed reactions from the public, many supporters believe it aligns with the nation’s traditional values.

Critics, however, argue that it could lead to censorship concerns. The ban reflects a growing trend in the country of enforcing social policies under Traoré’s leadership.
