Social Media Has Become Destructive, Must Be Regulated – FG
Category: Nigeria National News
The Minister of Information has insisted that the Social Media must be regulated. The minister made the revelation when speaking at the closing event of the 2016 Social Media Week in Lagos.
“Social media itself must understand that power without control is
destructive. I think the social media needs to set up code of conduct.
“The power of social media is something that cannot be ignored but
unfortunately today it has become a big destructive. Families, marriages
have been destroyed just for the fun of it.
“Therefore, I advise the social media that for them to be credible
you must be self regulated, but this government will not pass law to
regulate you,” Mohammed said.
The minister said the Federal Government was prepared to diversify
the economy through the creative industry and culture and tourism
sector.
He said the provision of infrastructure such as power, road, rail
system, security and other amenities was critical to the promotion of
culture and tourism in the country.
“You cannot promote culture and tourism without fixing infrastructure,” the minister stressed.
Many Nigerians on social media have spoken severally against the
plans of government to regulate social media, citing the fact that it
was social media that brought them into power.
