21 Social media accounts and phone numbers to be suspended

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Societal Development has asked the Communications Commission to suspend more than 21 social media accounts, in addition to a telephone number used for unauthorized fundraising campaigns, reports Al-Seyassah daily quoting sources.

Sources confirmed the commission can block websites, social media accounts and telephone numbers once proven the administrators have violated the regulations of the ministry. In the past, the ministry obliged those who committed such violations to sign a pledge to not repeat the violations; but now, they are referred directly to the Public Prosecution.
