What of the ones you and your likes posted before 2015 election

Will you also be hanged

Free kick should also dey

Community work is ok

there must be penalty for politicians who lied as well, those who lied during campaign and those who steal public fund

There should be tough penalties when politicians give false promises....

Wetin we go come do lai Mohammed?

There must even be stiffer penalty for corrupt politicians and officials. Why are our leaders not concerned about that? If falsehood must be punished then the punishment must be applied retroactively. All those that have give false news/information in the past must be punished too

senseless

I don't know the kind of people advising these Senators and even the Presidency, but with the fall of our judicial system, social media has become a bastion of succour to the common man, a platform where everyone can freely air their grievances and discuss critical issues, thereby garnering enough attention to force the government into action.

Now, when the government comes out to say they want to "regulate" social media, naturally, most people will resist it. It is an unnecessary bill, if we want to talk about punishment against fake news and such, then it should be captured within the hate speech bill. No need for a blanket regulation of the social media space.

Keyamo's analogy of activists unblocking their critics lacks intellectual substance, because it is totally unrelated to the issue at hand.

Government should instead focus on finding ways to get the social media companies(Nairaland, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc) to work out a way to filter unscrupulous contents. The social media companies should be the ones doing the regulation, not the government. It is not everything that the Nigerian government will always be using force and punishments for.

Well, He is right but we all know that what Buhari really wanted is not what kayomo is exactly saying.

Don't know this guy, but I absolutely agree.
People should be held extremely accountable in "cyber-space", for using racist, ethnically-prejudiced, sexist, ageist, religious hate speech, tribal prejudiced, false accusations, slander etc.,
People type what they type simply because there are "0" repercussions.
Slander/defamation is such an extremely destructive almost irreparable thing.

LabDNA:
If 'hate speech' were to be in effect more than a decade ago, you will still be languishing in prison.

Why will we all be in prison? did you post any false or misleading information that led to the death of anyone?

Don't know about you, but I for one will not be in prison cos I dont go about irresponsibly spreading deadly falsehoods which can cost lives.

There should penalty for false election promises too

Overfed buffon.

i fully support this,

only Ipobians are scared with their fabricated NEWS

Imagine Nairaland without Moderators and banning, some Dunce would fill here with pornography, curse and all sort of crued animal behaviours

Attention! One He Goat spotted, i repeat One He Goat Spotted

Sir, i will agree with you only and if only there is commensurate greater punishment for failed promises by politicians too.
then we will be all square.
and we then can shake all the "tables"

It seems this guy forgot him particularly has been exposed for posting fake info on SM? Not to talk of the lie chief himself, Lauretta and others?



I guess their thought is that only opposition post fake info?

If at all hate speech bill should be enacted, must it carry deaths penalty as is being enunciated by the Senate?

I've told u forward your C.V for review... U can't be jobless and useless at same time.....

I'm telling you!

You can't just wake up to write one fake story to damage a person just because you know how to write.
What then should the durm do?

You can't just do none sense just because you're in a position of influence.
We all do have positions.

That's why you see the behavior of some people in offices and begin to wonder what's wrong with us as humans. Because they always believe they have advantages over others.

Things like these should not be accepted as a Nation.

Fake activist.He thinks he would remain there forever.

Jealousy they say is the last class a person attends before becoming a witchcraft member. Same way the suppression of media is the last class a government attends before it becomes a Gestapo government that will oppress, arrest and murder its citizens for speaking up against bad governance. Buhari APC government should continue violating the civil rights of the masses, by 2023 elections they will know how far. No amount of rigging can save you from losing.

Post false story and go to prison. Ode

There should be death sentence for a government who perform below the expectation of Nigerians.. Who is with me?

This exactly what he is saying,You may not be responsible for what people see or believe about your post, But you should be responsible for what ever negative reaction that your post lead others into or when it causes others to behave in a way that is harmful to the society.
