Attorney General Anil Nandlall’s disclosure that he has written to Meta Platforms seeking an “institutional arrangement” between the Guyana Government and the parent company of Facebook has raised concerns that the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) administration may be seeking greater influence over one of the few spaces where criticism of the government remains largely unrestricted.

According to reporting by Demerara Waves, Nandlall said the government is pursuing a more structured relationship with Meta, though he provided no details about the arrangement being sought.

What he did make clear is that the government is increasingly concerned about content published on Facebook and the speed with which information spreads before it can be removed.
