| description | A new law that gives the state-run Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR) the ability to judge the validity of news has now gone into full effect in Egypt. Under the law--passed by parliament last July and approved by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in September--SCMR is authorized to sanction any journalist or news entity that spreads false news. SCMR commissioners are appointed by President Sisi. SCMR's secretary general Ahmed Selim told the Washington Report that over 120 web sites have thus far applied to legalize their status. Media outlets were required to apply by January 31, 2019. Web sites that do not submit the required documents to legalize their status under the new law will be blocked, Selim warned. Selim of the SCMR, however, insisted that blocked web sites that comply with all legal and financial requirements set by the law will be unblocked. He did not reveal details about the process or who will be in charge of lifting the blocks on web sites. |
