Question

Justify the limitation to freedom of expression by the south African government around the spread of fake news on covid-19

Answer 1

Answer:

In Africa, government attempts to fight misinformation are also limiting freedom of expression

“Even before COVID-19, many African countries used libel laws, defamation laws, and internet shutdowns to limit the freedom of expression of citizens and the media…The pandemic is now being used as an excuse to further limit freedom of expression.”
