New FPB Act Spells Bad News For Content Creators in South Africa

[Ageless_ZA]

The FPB has put into law a new act that aims to monitor and classify all content uploaded across the internet in South Africa by content creators and publications. Originally, we all thought this act aimed to monitor everyone but the FPB has clarified that the new guidelines do not apply to the average South African internet user. However, it does cover users who upload any prohibited content to the internet that the FPB deems as unfit. This includes child pornography, hate speech, content to entice war etc.

I don't think they have any idea how to enforce it. Just like other initiatives this is so vague and borderline un-implementable.

So I wouldn't worry, it'll probably go to court and get stuck there for years or something anyway or people won't pay like e-tolls.
