[liberationtech] Internet misuse in Gambia

2013-07-29 Thread Richard Brooks
New law in Gambia makes using the Internet to incite
dissatisfaction with the government punishable by
up to 15 years in jail and $100,00 fine:

Looks like other governments are following David Cameron's
lead. He could also add satanism to porn in his new firewall.

Wow, incite dissatisfaction? I don't suppose they've been helpful by defining 
what dissatisfaction is?

Is complaining about government bureaucracy on Facebook incitement of 
dissatisfaction?

- From what I hear, yes complaining about the government on
Facebook or Twitter would easily qualify. To give you an
idea, Guinea where the government soldiers rounded up
large segments of the population in 2009, put them in
a stadium for mass beatings, public rapes, and killings,
is ranked better in human rights than Gambia.

In other news, social media monitoring of the recent election
in Togo can be found at (helps if you know French):
