VPNs with servers in Senegal

Providers with exit locations in Senegal: a server here gives you an address in the country. The register’s table records no mandate for VPN operators here; the briefing below sets out what the law asks of providers.

Providers with exit locations in a country — a fact about a network, kept deliberately apart from where the company is registered. Only providers whose country list has a source appear: a provider that publishes nothing simply does not show up, which is a criterion already in the data rather than an editorial one.

Senegal’s Electronic Communications Code lets operators defer the erasure of traffic data for up to two years for the judicial authorities and requires them to identify every subscriber at sign-up. In February 2024 its Constitutional Council annulled a postponement of the presidential election.

The Electronic Communications Code (Law No. 2018-28) requires operators and service providers to erase or anonymise traffic data (art. 38), but allows erasure to be deferred for at most two years so the data can be given to the judicial authorities (art. 39). A decree, taken after the Personal Data Commission gives its opinion, fixes categories and durations by activity. Retained data may cover only identification, technical characteristics and terminal location, never content (art. 42).

What the law requires of a provider standing here

Operators must identify every user at subscription and keep the identifying data; a decree sets the conditions and the duration of keeping it (art. 36). On a judicial authority’s request, under article 90-11 and following of the Code of Criminal Procedure, they must supply stored computer data and subscriber data (art. 20).

Article 38 also binds anyone who offers the public an online connection as a main or secondary activity, free or not. Whether a VPN operator falls within these definitions is not established.

What is restricted

Restrictions have come by executive announcement. On 31 July 2023 mobile internet was cut after protests, and on 2 August 2023 the Minister of Communication announced that TikTok was suspended until further notice, citing “hateful and subversive” messages. OONI measurements show the TikTok block running from 2 August 2023 to 17 February 2024.

Whether posting can be prosecuted

ARTICLE 19 describes article 255 of the Penal Code as covering the dissemination, disclosure or reproduction of false news, or fabricated or falsely attributed documents, where this leads to disobedience to the laws, undermines moral values or discredits public institutions.

It reports that defamation is an offence under article 258 and insulting the head of state under article 80, and that article 139 of the Code of Criminal Procedure makes a detention warrant mandatory for false news.

Accounts are traced through the Code: operators hold identification data from subscription (art. 36) and must answer judicial requisitions (art. 20).

What it means for the rows below

On 15 February 2024 the Constitutional Council held the postponement of the presidential election unconstitutional, annulling the presidential decree and the National Assembly’s decision of 5 February to move the vote to 15 December. Seven members approved the judgment, which reaffirmed that the five-year presidential term is fixed and asked the authorities to hold the election as soon as possible.

The Code binds operators and their staff to the secrecy of correspondence (art. 14), bars the retention of content (art. 42) and subjects processing to the personal data law, Law No. 2008-12. The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.

Senegal

Ranked by security

Only a provider that publishes a country list appears here at all — 41 of the 77 on file. The other 27 are not missing research: they publish no list, and U02_server_countries is unknown for them rather than filled from the number their marketing claims.

A provider that says “100+ countries” and enumerates none gets no page on any of them, and the count printed on its own record is the length of the list, never the claim. With 41 providers behind 180 countries, the long tail of these pages carries one or two rows.
