Zimbabwe
plans
to
regulate
the
use
of
social
media
and
digital
platforms.
Harare
is
drafting
a
new
law
that
seeks
to
tighten
oversight
and
combat
what
it
calls
an
unchecked
spread
of
misinformation
and
sharing
of
harmful
material
online.

In
Australia,
children
under
the
age
of
16
are
banned
from
using
social
platforms
such
as
Instagram,
TikTok,
Facebook,
and
Snapchat.
Zimbabwean
President
Emmerson
Mnangagwa
says,
“Policies
and
mechanisms
to
guarantee
ethical
and
responsible
use
of
ICTs
and
various
media
platforms
are
being
accordingly
reviewed.
I
note
with
grave
concern
the
increasing
abuse
of
social
media
by
some
unscrupulous
persons
and
groups.
The
recording
of
road
traffic
accidents
and
the
subsequent
distribution
of
such
material
is
totally
unacceptable.”
