Charge Egyptians for using Facebook? Good luck.<\/strong> Some MPs are reportedly looking to making Egyptians pay a monthly fee for using Facebook, and will discuss proposals for a draft bill on this soon, Egypt Independent<\/a> reports. \u201cThe purpose behind the suggested subscription is to put all users under government surveillance so it can effectively restrict any attempt by Egypt\u2019s enemies to use social media as a mean to broadcast rumors and incite [people] against Egypt\u2019s army and police forces,\u201d explained MP Ryad Abdel Sattar, who proposed the law.<\/p>\n

Abdel Sattar, whose understand of the how the interwebs work is clearly somewhat, uhm, challenged, was subtly rebuked by Rep. Ahmed Badway, deputy head of the House Committee on ICT, who simply denied on Sunday that the committee intends to discuss charging fees for Facebook use<\/strong> in Egypt.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Times of London reporter is accusing Facebook of failing to remove <\/strong>extremist posts<\/strong>, according to Reuters<\/a>. The social network did not remove the posts even after the moderators were directly informed of the potentially illegal content. \u201cFacebook moderators removed some of reported images but left untouched pro-jihadist posts praising recent attacks [in the UK and Egypt] and calling for new ones. The company appeared to take action only after The Times identified itself as reporting a story on the matter.\u201d Facebook Vice President of Operations Justin Osofsky apologized later, saying \u201cit is clear that we can do better, and we'll continue to work hard to live up to the high standards people rightly expect of Facebook.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
