‘Reprehensible behaviour on internet should be a crime’
Attorney-general George Savvides called on parliament to pass a bill criminalizing “reprehensible behavior” on the internet, including posting messages with offensive, obscene, or threatening content. The bill also aims to address the spread of fake news and misinformation online. Savvides emphasized the importance of freedom of expression, which is protected by the constitution and the European Convention of Human Rights. He also highlighted the need for restrictions in legal cases to ensure a fair trial.
