Cybercrime Act not a form of censorship: NICTA

Charles Punaha, the National Information and Communication Technology Authority (NICTA) CEO, said the Act passed by Parliament in 2016, will not be a form of censorship on mainstream and social media.  

“We respect freedom of information and speeches as provided for under the Constitution, but let me also specify that those freedom are referred to by law as qualified rights, meaning that people should not abuse those freedom to commit (crimes) against other people,” Punaha said.
