Policing social media

IT was reported last week that the Government will take stern action against those who use social media to “incite hatred” against government institutions.

The media also reported on the comments by Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak that a special team would be set up to investigate and take action to deal with this “problem”, viewed by the Government as a serious issue that must be tackled. The team, it is understood, will comprise members from the Attorney-General’s Chambers as well as the police.
