“Protecting” Lebanese Websites
October 26, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
Abdel-Hadi Mahfouz, head of the National Audio-visual Media Council, on why they want to build a database of Lebanese websites:
Our recent decision to organize the online media will only protect websites from a future government ruling against them … if they are not registered or within our database, the government could easily ban them,
It’s like asking us to walk into a prison so that they could protect us from murder.
