The Christian of Association of Nigeria (CAN) has critizied the Federal Government’s decision to regulate social media.
The Association said it would resist the government’s plan to regulate the use of social media space, insisting that it had given Nigerians the freedom to speak and express themselves without fear.
President of CAN Youth Wing, urged the Government to source for alternative means of managing the 21st century youths who are used to social media.
He said:
“Social media is a strong platform that can be used to sharpen discussions, even though it has negative sides. Millions of people make their daily living from social media, even when some people claim that it destroys. Millions of others are also learning from social media.
“In fact, Facebook seems to be the strongest religion in the world. The fact that there are few negative sides to it does not mean that there are no good sides.“Undoubtedly, the positive side of social media outweighs the negative side.” he said.
So many Nigerians, comprising, actors and activists, have come out to criticise the Federal Government move of regulation of the social media space.
