Spooks should not run cybersecurity - R2K
13 September 2017
Cape Town – The State Security Agency should not have control over cyber security, the Right2Know (R2K) Campaign said in Parliament on Tuesday.
R2K was among several organisations that made submissions to the portfolio committee on justice and correctional services on the Cybercrime and Cybersecurity Bill.
"In its current form it will potentially censor freedom of speech," said R2K's Karabo Rajuili.
The group is also concerned that corporates and the state could infringe on internet freedom and asked for much stronger safeguards in the bill to keep the state at bay.
