Hello,

I read on lexpress.mu [1] that the Minister of Technology, Communication
and Innovation while replying to a question in the parliament, informed
the house that a "committee" has been set up comprising of the ICT
Authority, National Computer Board and Cyber Crime Unit to identify
those breaching the laws.

The committee will also be responsible for the "removal" of defamatory
and hate comments. The committee together with the Attorney General and
State Law Office will "modify" the ICT Act to include the new
regulations.

The State of Mauritius will seek help from the California based HQ of
Facebook to divulge information related to fake profiles being reported.
