The part about satire was related to the images from the National
Assembly. There are some other restrictions on the use of the
material on sites such as Youtube or Facebook. I am puzzled about
how the National Assembly intends to deal with that given how quickly
videos go viral nowadays.

The island will end up with a bad reputation if people are sent to
jail for telling a good joke.

Thanks. It is better if a group interested in Open Source advocacy
does the work.
