We know that social media is perhaps the most potent instrument that can be used for good and can be used for the negative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome the good. We must not paper over the bad or the evil. That is my position about social media regulation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must strike a balance, where peoples\u2019 rights to speech are not infringed upon but where your rights to speech ends or begins, it is where my own rights or next person\u2019s rights to protection begins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany more countries, democracies that we all look up to are already in the mood of regulating social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational assembly has been contemplating regulation for a long time. Each time they do, people will kick. Why did you kick? They say freedom of speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a delicate balance. Very, very delicate. It is something we need to do as responsible. You heard of cyberbullying, children nagging themselves, killing themselves because of what is on social media. We do not want that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is something we need to do because we have a responsibility to protect every single citizen in this country and that is what we must do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the suspension of Twitter\u2019s operations, the speaker noted that the national assembly has not taken any position on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that as a leader, it is necessary to listen to the two sides \u2014 the federal government and Twitter \u2014 before making a decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational assembly has not taken a position. Before you take a position, you have to listen to all sides. It cannot be knee-jerky. We have a responsibility, if I was on the outside I know the position I will take,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the inside, I have been elected by the people, I have to be on the side of the people but I also have to know exactly what the facts and the true situation is. It is not a beauty contest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has stated that social media must be regulated to protect every citizen of the country against its negative sides.
