And they should. Even the "freest" countries on the planet, from the US to Europe, have such mechanisms in place in addition to a gauntlet of surveillance cameras all over their streets taking note of every alphabet one types on their device and how many times one breathes.

The social media as we know it is becoming more and more inimical to the security of countries across the world, even though it has an almost endless array of positives. Some trouble makers just have to be kept tabs on, that's all.
And when the Government abuses it what happens?

Stupid

They are just plain stupid.

Now am having more reason to believe they are asking of people's details from Nairaland.

Monitoring and censorship may be good but Nigeria can't handle such sensitive information just yet.

Did you read the part that says that U.S.A. the father of democracy made nearly 50,000 requests, even when no African country made up to 100 requests. Use your head, don't just to online to rant. Every government wants to know that its citizens are up to.
I just tire, the comments self, most didn't read they just commented.

The technology companies make things easy for the users, thereby making it easier for the criminals to perpetrate crimes.

In the same time the world governments find it difficult to track and catch criminals.

To those making noise up and down,is it a crime for a Govt of a country to monitor social media activities of her citizens

US government demands Facebook account details of anti-Trump activists

UK has power to monitor citizens on social media, says counter-terrorism chief

How to control the media remains paramount to this government. It seems they knew in advance performance would be poor and people would speak out.

"Nigerians are robust and lively in discussing their affairs, but I was distressed to notice that some of the comments, especially in the social media have crossed our national red lines by daring to question our collective existence as a nation. This is a step too far" .........Muhammadu Buhari

Someone should tell him "Nigerians have every right to discuss what we want, including what Buhari likes and what he don't like".

The pertinent question is how many such requests have been made to Mr. Osewa on Nairaland users and subscribers?

I'm sure it would quadruple what Facebook and Twitter has.
