The World Wide Web remains a large uncharted and dangerously unpredictable dimension. Many partisans and extremists have fled the inquiry and accountability more or less found in the press to establish websites with the purposes of hurting people and spreading propaganda.

Most noted is the massive spread of misinformation about political candidates by self-proclaimed fact-checkers and bloggers. This is a miscellaneous section, whose major usages shall be to document the characteristics of a randomly chosen website each month, detail the positions and sometimes noted accomplishments of candidates running for offices, and dispel various myths.

Technically many secular activities shall be covered in this section and other actions not yet described will most likely be enacted here, such as major news events, coverage for charities, and so forth.

Vague laws used to criminalise criticism of government in Rwanda

Below are passages from a recent Amnesty International press release.

"Rwanda's new government must urgently review vague 'genocide ideology' and 'sectarianism' laws that are being used to suppress political dissent and stifle freedom of speech, Amnesty International said in a report released on Tuesday."

"Amnesty International found that many Rwandans, even those with specialist knowledge of Rwandan law including lawyers and human rights workers, were unable to precisely define 'genocide ideology'. Even judges, the professionals charged with applying the law, noted that the law was broad and abstract."

"Amnesty International said that prohibiting hate speech is a legitimate aim, but the approach used by the Rwandan Government has violated international law."
