Zambia’s President Michael Sata plans
to block social networking sites Facebook and Twitter in
his country.
The president’s reason to do so is that some
unfavourable stories on blocked websites are ‘filtering through the two social
media for domestic consumption.’
This new move follows the president’s recent
decision to block the media websites Zambian Watchdog, and Zambia Reports, and the Xavier Chungu-led parallel intelligence is targeting
to block a third internet based media channel, the Crossfire Blogtalk Radio.
President Sata recently unleashed a crack-down on
media houses and arresting journalists who carry reports on stories which
impact threaten his hold on power.
