The Foundation notes with concern that the notice gazetted by the Films and Publications Board, on 22 March, appears to be based on a misapplication of the Act and exceeds the power conferred to the FPB by the Act.
On 22 March 2024, the Films and Publications Board gazetted a notice identifying “disinformation”, “misinformation” and “fake news” as “harmful or disturbing” and concluded that it was “prohibited content” in terms of the Films and Publications Act, 1996.
