WE at the Centre for the Study of Communications and Culture (CSCC) would like to express our concern over the recent “revelations” by Gobind Singh Deo in his capacity as Minister of Communications and Multimedia.
We have no objection to his wanting to get rid of the odious Anti-Fake News Act (2018), a law that has no place in a democracy. Equally, we would welcome any serious attempts on his part to critically study, amend and even repeal other laws such as the Printing Presses and Publications Act (1984/87) and the Communications and Multimedia Act.
