<h2>Online Freedoms Under Siege as African Countries Seek Social Media Users’ Information</h2>
                     <p>Date posted: September 9, 2013</p>
                        
                    










                    
                    
                        
                     
                        
                        <p>Only a small fraction of requests made by law
 enforcement officials to Facebook, Google and Twitter for users’ 
identities or to block content originate from Africa, but there is cause
 to worry.</p>
<p>Facebook, whose popularity across Africa is growing exponentially, 
lists Botswana, Egypt, Ivory Coast, South Africa, and Uganda among the 
countries that requested users’ details in the first half of 2013. 
Meanwhile, last year saw seven African countries ask Google to remove 
content compared to only one request from the continent – by Libya – in 
2010 and 2011. The beauty is that most of those requests were rejected.</p>
<p>No African country made a request for user account information either to Google or Twitter in the first half of 2013.</p>
<p><b><i>Facebook</i></b></p>
<p>In the first half of 2013, Botswana made three requests to Facebook 
related to seven users.  Egypt had eight requests regarding 11 accounts,
 the Ivory Coast lodged four requests, Uganda one request and South 
Africa 14 requests on nine users. All requests from Africa were denied.</p>

<p><b><i>Google</i></b></p>
<p>Eight African countries have made at least one content removal 
request to Google since 2010. Djibouti’s 2012 request to block YouTube 
videos containing the movie <i>Innocence of Muslims</i> on the grounds 
of “religious offense” was rejected. But a similar request by Egypt was 
temporarily complied with, because of the “difficult circumstances” in 
this country at the time.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a Kenyan request to remove content from blogger, arising 
out of a court order in a defamation case, was rejected. The Island 
nation of Mauritius made two content removal requests in the first half 
of 2012. Both were for reasons of defamation; both were rejected. 
Madagascar’s two requests were court-mandated on defamation grounds but 
Google accepted only one. Sierra Leone made one request regarding 60 
items on Youtube which it wanted blocked as they portrayed or promoted 
violence. Google declined the request, which was made by executive not 
court order.</p>
<p>In the first half of 2012, South Africa had three court-ordered 
removal requests related to 11 items and Google fully complied. In the 
second half of 2012, Pretoria made three court ordered requests related 
to eight items and 33% was complied with. All South African requests 
were related to defamation.</p>
<p>Previous Google reports show that in the period July – December 2010,
 Libya made 68 requests for a total of 203 items to be removed from 
Youtube. Of these requests, 31% were complied with, either by some or 
all of the content being removed. In the subsequent six months, Libya’s 
two requests regarding five items were denied. All of Libya’s requests 
were not backed by a court order</p>
<p><b><i>Twitter</i></b></p>
<p>South Sudan, the continent’s youngest nation, is the only African 
country that made a user information request to Twitter between July and
 December 2012. Juba’s request was denied.</p>
<p align="left"><b><i>A Catalogue of Infringements</i></b><br>
While only a handful of African countries are making these requests, 
there is nonetheless evidence of a worrying trend, in which African 
countries are taking both legal and non-legal measures to curtail the 
freedoms of individuals to express themselves on the internet.</p>
<p>The last year has seen a spiral of activity against online freedom of
 expression in numerous African countries. In fact, 2013 might go down 
as a record year in terms of curtails on internet rights on the 
continent.</p>
<p><a href="http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/07/12/new-internet-law-in-the-gambia-puts-gag-on-government-criticism/" target="_blank">Gambia has passed a law</a>
 under which those who publish “false news” online about the government 
can be handed a 15 year jail term and fined up to US$90,000. Meanwhile, 
Zambia president Michael Sata’s government in July <a href="http://cpj.org/2013/07/in-zambia-harassment-of-watchdog-site-continues.php" target="_blank">blocked access to the <i>Zambian Watchdog </i>website</a>,
 accusing it of promoting hate speech. Two journalists arrested on 
suspicion of working with the online publishers were due to appear in 
court. Another website, <em>Zambia Reports, was blocked too. </em>Some observers said blocking the websites was part of the government’s campaign to silence independent critics.</p>
<p>Next door in Zimbabwe, security agencies spent several weeks in the run-up to the July 2013 general elections looking for <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/10178570/Mugabe-hunts-for-internet-mole-Baba-Jukwa-revealing-his-secrets.html" target="_blank">‘Baba Jukwa’</a>,
 whose Facebook page published popular exposes of the excesses of 
President Robert Mugabe’s government. Three weeks before election day, 
there were reports Mr. Mugabe’s machinery had staked a US$300,000 bounty
 to unearth the identity of the whistleblower as it moved to block 
access to the site.</p>
<p>There have also been cases of bloggers charged in court in Kenya and others <a href="http://www.nation.co.ke/News/14-bloggers-linked-to-hate-messages/-/1056/1732288/-/cut5kvz/-/index.html" target="_blank">sought by authorities</a>
 over their Facebook, blogger and Twitter posts, amidst concerns that 
authorities were infringing citizens’ right to free expression. The 
country also <a href="http://iwpr.net/report-news/tackling-online-hate-speech-kenya" target="_blank">asked internet intermediaries to monitor their traffic</a>
 for messages deemed “inflammatory” or “divisive” in a move some 
observers believed could be an invasion of privacy. Kenya has also 
ordered the blocking of access to some websites, such as <a href="http://jameni.com/was-the-government-justified-in-shutting-down-mashada-com/" target="_blank">Mashada</a>.</p>
<p>Burundi – always a high-flying culprit in clamping on free expression – in May ordered the online newspaper <a href="http://www.iwacu-burundi.org" target="_blank">www.iwacu-burundi.org</a> to block readers’ comments for 30 days, after <a href="http://www.trust.org/item/20130531164503-qium7/?source%20=%20hppartner" target="_blank">accusing</a>
 it of publishing comments that violated media law on “national unity, 
public order and security, inciting ethnic hatred, defending criminal 
activity and insulting the head of state.”</p>
<p>Perhaps more than any other country in Africa, Ethiopia regularly 
blocks websites, undertakes surveillance of websites and social media, 
and charges journalists over content published offline and online. In 
May 2013, the Supreme Court upheld the conviction and 18-year prison 
sentence for journalist and blogger <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/voices-in-danger-jailed-for-18-years-for-criticising-ethiopias-government-journalist-eskinder-nega-vows-to-keep-fighting-8644555.html" target="_blank">Eskinder Nega</a>,
 convicted last year of “terrorism acts” related to his writing. The 
state-run telecom monopoly Ethiopia Telecom has for many years been used
 to <a href="https://opennet.net/blog/2012/11/update-information-controls-ethiopia" target="_blank">filter content</a>
 and hundreds of websites remain blocked. These include blogs and 
websites of a number of recently convicted individuals, news 
organisations, political parties, bloggers, and international 
organisations.</p>
<p>In Uganda, where authorities have in the past ordered internet 
service providers to block access to certain websites and services, the <a href="http://www.cipesa.org/2013/06/ugandas-assurances-on-social-media-monitoring-ring-hollow/" target="_blank">government announced</a>
 it would form a social media monitoring center “to weed out those who 
use this media to damage the government and people’s reputations” and 
also targeted at those “bent to cause a security threat to the nation.” 
Many other countries on the continent have variously interfered with 
citizen’s internet rights – many times unjustifiably.</p>
<p>The number of requests made by African countries is therefore not 
reflective of the state of online freedom on the continent. This is 
because most governments have unilateral means of dealing with 
situations they do not like, without going through multilateral 
intermediaries. As we are witnessing, they can enact national 
legislations, issue uncontested orders to local intermediaries, or use 
extra-legal measures.</p>
<p>With more people on the continent getting online (mobile penetration 
in Africa stands at 63%, internet usage at 16% of the population), 
governments are likely to infringe more on citizens’ online freedoms. A 
challenge then is to promote awareness about protecting and promoting 
online freedoms. There is also a need to continuously promote 
responsible user behaviour online, as not all state efforts to monitor 
citizens’ actions online are unjustifiable.</p>
