NASSAU – As the government drafts legislation that could make citizens criminally liable for posting lewd and obscene photos on social media, Minister of State for National Security Keith Bell said authorities will engage in wide public consultation on the matter.
It is unclear exactly how the government intends to police online activity, given the technological complexities involved in uploading and sharing social media content.
Bell said the consultation process and draft legislation could be completed before the end of the year. (Nassau Guardian)
