Social media: when a post can push someone into exile

Social media gave Congolese youth a new freedom of expression.

But visibility can also expose them. A video, livestream, post or song may be interpreted politically.

Digital exile sometimes begins before physical exile: deleting posts, changing phone numbers, forced silence.
