Chairperson, when this Bill was first introduced to the National Assembly; we were clear why we objected to it. This Bill will not stop the distribution of personal pictures or illegal pornography, because while the intentions of the Bill are noble, this piece of legislation is a Trojan horse for pretentious censorship and crosses the fine line between protection and censorship.
Unfortunately, the amendments made by the NCOP don't change this, because essentially what this Bill is doing is pre-classifying all online publications, including content generated by normal users on face book twitter, instagram and YouTube and have the potential to criminalise anybody.
