Social Media Bill: Senate Says It Is To Curtail Fake News Not Silence Media
Channel: Plus TV Africa
Date: 22/11/2019

A bill to regulate the use of Social Media, as well as curb fake news on the internet, has passed second reading at the Senate. The bill, ‘Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulations Bill, 2019,’ sponsored by Mohammed Musa was introduced in the Senate two weeks ago.

This comes a few years after a similar anti-social media bill introduced in the eight Senate sparked outrage across Nigeria.  The second stage of the new bill was passed after lawmakers debated the details during plenary. Are there other hidden details in the bill we need to know?
