CALIFORNIA REP. BASS INTRODUCES RESOLUTION CALLING FOR INTERNET PROTECTIONS IN AFRICA

[Africa News\ Internet Freedom]
Rep. Bass: “Increasingly, many African governments describe content on the internet as ‘fake news’ as the basis for blocking the information during disasters, terrorist attacks, and social unrest. African governments also harass and detain journalists, whistleblowers, bloggers, and other media workers… Oftentimes internet access is restricted during political elections, protests, and demonstrations.”
