Amnesty intl serap csos to nass drop anti social media bill now
It appears that Amnesty International and several other civil society organizations (CSOs) are urging the Nigerian government to drop the proposed Anti-Social Media Bill.
The bill, also known as the "Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulation Bill", has been widely criticized for its potential to stifle freedom of expression and silence online dissent. The bill proposes to criminalize the spread of "falsehood" and "manipulation" on social media, with penalties including fines and imprisonment.
Amnesty International and the CSOs are concerned that the bill could be used to target and silence human rights defenders, journalists, and other individuals who speak out against government policies or corruption.
Here's a possible tweet that summarizes the situation:
"Amnesty International and CSOs urge @NASSNigeria to drop the Anti-Social Media Bill! The bill threatens freedom of expression and could be used to silence online dissent. #DropTheBill #FreeSpeech #Nigeria"
