It is called Affirmative Action Program; and it is done all over the world. California 1976/1977, a white dude who had a higher score than a black dude was denied admission into medical school due to Affirmative Action. T[b]he Caucasian fought his case to the Supreme Court, and got admitted to the medical school.[/b]
So affirmative action was overturned by the Court, thus defeating your premise that it is done all over the world. That is to say, it may be done, but without a basis in legality.

The cyber laws are being implemented but the source too should be blocked.
The mere fact that the youths are comfortable with some things on the internet does not mean other demographics (elderly, religious ones etc) are comfortable with these things and government is also responsible for these people.
There is no where non consensual porn is encouraged and our government is being proactive by reminding these platforms of their duty to discourage such.
You set up a company, it is your duty to make sure its activities does not run afowl of the law or government will step in.
That's all fine and good, but we've agreed that these platforms are already removing such content. You said the government is just reminding them. So we're agreed as to the responsibility of the platforms to remove such content and on the fact that they actually do remove the content when reported.

Now we disagree on why the government is so proactive at reminding them what to do, but doesn't do its own part. Sir, you say the laws are being implemented, where and how?

. You really are retarded. Let me explain this to you in a language even a retard can understand. Under this law, Social media companies are not obligated to remove any offensive post that hasn’t been reported. If a post has been reported they must take it down within 24 hrs….but the post must first be reported.
And which part of what I said contradicts this?

I bet if the government monitors(can't say if they are doing it already) all our internet activities, we would all be shouting freedom of speech. The logical thing is for them to compel these organizations to do the monitoring themselves.
Government is saying take priority on my country and protect our citizens or we take action ourselves.
Again, is that so bad?
That is now a shifting of the goalposts. The point here is not about how the citizenry will respond to it, which is not relevant and hypothetical anyway, not to mention, it is not different from what they are doing by clamping down on these sites anyway.

You've made the point that the government is being responsible by issuing these regulations, and I'm telling you that the government is failing in its own core responsibility to implement the law. So if the government is really out to protect the citizenry, why are they not implementing our cyber laws?

If they government cares about the citizenry's response they would equally not attack these sites since we still won't approve. You and I know they don't care what we think.

You really a displaying the traits of someone with a very low IQ. The law says it must be removed. When reported!!! Don’t you understand the basic difference? Jesus!!!!!


How daft are youhuh
I have agreed with you, and simply added an additional point to make the case that sahara reporters are DOUBLY WRONG!

That is to say, they are wrong for the reason you posted, and additionally wrong for the reason I've added.

which part of this is confusing youhuh

Of what relevance is all this nonsense you just posted? The article was about failing to delete proscribed media when reported. And I said they can only remove what has been reported. You really have a problem with English! Seriously!!!!’
Maybe come back to this a couple of hours from now when your head is clear. This is absurd now.

I said: I AM AGREEING WITH YOU and then adding something to what you said.

The law says non-consensual content must be removed.

sahara reporters, said they found porn (general porn).

What Sahara reporters found was not the proscribed content.

Anyway its not deep so done here.

While this might be valid reason, let's not speculate on their motivation for this but the important thing is the government has a responsibility to protect its citizens and by reminding the social media platforms of their duty to prevent harassment and intimidation on their platforms.
By this now, those social media platforms should really be vetting Nigerian contents to prevent these illegal acts so as not to run against the law.
The government is showing responsibility here.
Sorry but no this won't cut it. If the government feels that social media sites have the capacity to monitor all of these things, then logically, the government should apply the same standard to itself.

There are cyber laws in nigeria so why doesn't the government prosecute violators?

You are the one who is misguided, possibly suffering the malaise of many Nigerians, the ability to read in English but not fully understand what they just read. Again I repeat, the law says they must remove indecent content within 24 hrs of reporting. You don’t need to have anything more than an average reasoning faculty to know the law does not require them to remove any porn or images that haven’t been reported.
Trading words is not a substitute for having basic comprehension. Oh, you were offended because I said you were misguided? Sorry o. But you are misguided, no offense intended.

The order was contained in the recently released Code of Practice for Interactive Computer Service Platforms/Internet Intermediaries (online platforms).
According to the document, these online platforms have to “act expeditiously to remove, disable, or block access to non-consensual content that exposes a person’s private areas, full or partial nudity, sexual act, or revenge porn, where such content is targeted to harass, disrepute, or intimidate an individual.

“A platform must acknowledge the receipt of the complaint and take down the content within 24 hours.”


Besides that, I just told you I am agreeing with your point, but adding something to it and you still came back swinging instead of realising that you just don't understand where I'm coming from.

That is to say, it is not sufficient for sahara reporters to say that they found porn on those sites, because in addition to someone needing to report the content, the content itself must also meet the criteria of having been on consensual as highlighted above.

So which of us really suffers said malaise?

Sorry o.

Yeah it is not allowed in these platforms but they still happen and government is doing their own bit by reinforcing and reminding them of this obligation.
Or looking to capitalise on the difficulty of monitoring everything that is posted in real-time, in order to create room for banning?

I don’t see the relevance of what you posted. The law says they must remove any indecent image that is reported. It has to be reported first.
That's because you are misguided on what the law says.

The law, as reported here, says the platforms should remove non-consensual porn or revenge porn.


Note: I am adding to your point, not contradicting it.
Politics › Re: Terrorists Have Taken Over Forests In Nigeria – Akeredolu Raises Alarm by SmartyPants(m): 10:10am On Jun 22, 2022
Akeredolu is beginning to annoy me.

1. One day after the attack he said the culprits are from Mali

2. One week after he countered the federal government's claim that the culprits were iswap, asking for evidence

3. Now he says it was terrorists

So why counter the government's earlier report? Is there even a difference between iswap and radical fighters from Mali?

The law says within 24 hrs of reporting. If it isn’t reported there is no action to take. Sahara reporters should show evidence than porn was reported and by who but wasn’t removed.
not even any porn but non-consensual porn

[/b]Muhammadu Buhari’s government ordered them to remove, disable or block access to any non-consensual content, which parades partial or full nudity, sexual acts, deep fake or revenge porn within 24 hours of user’s posting.[b]

They are not looking to ban twitter but what government is saying is revenge porn, blackmail porn, in short non consensual porn must be taken down.
Is that so bad.
There are two issues here:

1. The journalist that doesn't know what he is reporting on, first talking about non consensual content, and then saying porn in general can still be accessed;

2. The fact that non-consensual porn is not allowed on these platforms already. So creating a new directive around this issue seems not to be genuine.

Shoddy journalism.

According to the document, these online platforms have to “act expeditiously to remove, disable, or block access to non-consensual content that exposes a person’s private areas, full or partial nudity, sexual act, or revenge porn, where such content is targeted to harass, disrepute, or intimidate an individual.
The journalist has conflated the governments directive on revenge porn/non consensual porn, with all types of porn.

Never commented on the original story after I saw that she tweeted that they were taking them to Ilorin and Ikeja.

Ikeja?? So they will carry people from Abuja through all those roadblocks, through Lagos-Ibadan expressway traffic, and no one would notice?

She's probably never been down south so had no idea what the places she mentioned looked like.

Ayanwukoma:
80% of handsome men, I mean men who are truly handsome are lonely and bored most days of their life because people mostly try to stay away from them...

Women assume they have a lot of girls flocking around them which is not always true.

Some men are afraid or jealous to be friends with them so as not to cause problem with their wife/fiancees/girlfriend.

Same can't be said for pretty girls, who men flock around with.

True or false
So rich men that are the worst players are not lonely, but it's handsome guys that are lonely?

Simply not true.

Every one does of course. Your brother, to any balanced individual, is a much higher level of relationship and thus is owed a much higher standard of loyalty than his wife, whose relationship to you is a mere derivative of your relationship woth your brother.
