NAIROBI —  Human rights organizations accuse Tanzania's government of using repressive legislation to muzzle the media, civil society and opposition politicians critical of the institution. The critics say cyber crime laws, which took effect two years ago, have been used against nine media organizations, with the Mwanahalisi newspaper the latest to be banned. Rights groups are calling on the government to align its laws with the practices and standards of the international community. Mwanahalisi is the second newspaper to be banned in Tanzania in one year. The government said the paper had violated previous warnings about articles criticizing President John Magufuli. In a statement, the government ...

US Department of HomelandSecurity to Collect SocialMedia information fromImmigrants Starting Oct 18th

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to start collecting social media information on all immigrants in the US, including permanent residents and naturalized citizens starting October 18th.

In a document published on the Federal Register last week, DHS plans to collect “social media handles, aliases, associated identifiable information, and search results”. The information will be permanently stored on individuals’ immigration files beginning October 18th.

DHS also plans to collect information on immigrants “from the internet, public records, public institutions, interviews, commercial data providers, and information shared obtained through information sharing agreements.”

DHS earlier this year also floated the idea of collecting social media and phone passwords from some immigrants entering the United States in what it said was an effort to tighten security at the nation’s borders.

Critics of the new plan say the move is disturbing, may violate individuals’ free speech, and may not make the nation any more secure. "We see this as part of a larger process of high tech surveillance of immigrants and more and more people being subjected to social media screening. There's a growing trend at the Department of Homeland Security to be snooping on the social media of immigrants and foreigners and we think it's an invasion of privacy and deters freedom of speech," Adam Schwartz, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation tells BuzzFeed News .

Schwartz also says US citizens who communicate with immigrants will also be affected by the program, and might have their private information and communications shared with the government.

Critics also say the information gathered from Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms may be used to by the government to deny individuals entry into the United States, even when such information is inaccurate or individuals’ accounts have been hacked. “There is also the possibility that someone may be hacked and will be held to task for a post or comment,” García Hernández, assistant professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law tells BuzzFeed News.

Whatsapp Yafutwa China

Baada ya malalamiko ya muda mrefu ya serikali ya China juu ya mtandao wa ujumbe mfupi wenye kubeba mafaili ya Sauti, Picha na Video “WhatsApp” hatimaye imeuondoa rasmi nchini humo.

Imeripotiwa kuwa mtandao wa WhatsApp haupatikani nchini China kwa siku ya tatu sasa ambapo inadaiwa kuwa Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano nchini humo 'Observatory of Network Interference' (OONI) imefuta matumizi ya mtandao huo.

WhatsApp ambayo inamilikiwa na kampuni ya Facebook yenye makao yake makuu nchini Marekani imekuwa kwenye mgogoro na China ikilalamikia Serikali na mamlaka za usalama nchini humo kuingilia mawasiliano ya wateja wao kwa madai ya kufanya uchunguzi wa usalama wa taifa.

Hata hivyo kwa wageni wanaoingia nchini China huduma hiyo bado inapatikana kupitia SIM Card za mataifa yao hivyo inaonekana huduma hiyo imesitishwa kwa raia wa China pekee.

NAPE: WANANCHI WA MTAMA WANAHOJI HIZO NDEGE ZA BOMBARDIER ZINA FAIDA GANI KWAO KIJIJINI

Wananchi wa jimbo la Mtama mkoani Lindi wamemhoji mbunge wao, Nape Nnauye kuhusu ndege aina ya Bombardier, wakitaka kujua inawasaidiaje.

Ndege mbili aina ya Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 zilinunuliwa na Serikali kwa ajili ya kulifufua shirika la usafiri wa anga la Air Tanzania (ATCL), ambalo lilikuwa limezorota na kutishia uhai wake.

Ndege hizo zilizinduliwa na Rais John Magufuli Septemba 28, 2016 jijini Dar es Salaam.

Lakini wananchi wa Mtama bado hawajaona umuhimu wake na walimuhoji Nape, ambaye alikuwa Waziri wa Habari, Utamaduni, Sanaa na Michezo.

Jana Nape aliandika katika akaunti yake ya Twitter kuhusu utashi huo wa wananchi wake kuhusu Bombardier.

“Watu hawa wanapambana na hali zao! Waliniuliza bombardier ndiyo nini” na sie wa vijijini tutafaidikaje au ni kwenu mjini tu!?” ameandika Nape katika akaunti hiyo.
