Abstract

This fictional case study requires the “Njagala” government science advisory to consider the ethics and social considerations of limiting social media and its usage within its borders. What are the economic benefits of current cell phone use in trading activities, as well as in online education? What principles and guidelines of science advice should be applied in considering this case? The International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA) is a collaborative platform for policy exchange, capacity building and research across diverse global science advisory organisations and national systems. Fictional scenarios encompass various economic, political and environmental dimensions.
