- South Africa’s new hate speech laws could give employers the right to go after employees even when posting on their personal social media accounts. Legal expert, Kevin Smith speaks to Masa Kekana about why you should think twice when posting on social media.

Be careful what you accept people. Protect your freedoms.
Anybody can set up any social media account using somebody else's name and profile picture and say anything on that platform. Then what?
Malema ? Andile Mngxitama ? Hate speech ?
They work for government are they know going to be fired
But is it truth being spread or lies😊
You are drunk
Can one do free speech in Zimbabwe. Just asking?
@@vanzylbooysen4826Why are you so obsessed with ZIM ?????
What hate speech are you talking about???
They were in court and found NOT guilty....Stop make up stories....
Domkop !!!!
Well explained - stupid law though
That social media lawyer of Gcinile when she went live saying her client is a stupid person 😭😭😭😭
Ethics out the window 😂
Very informative discussion. Thank you.
She is the best news person I have seen in SA. Logical, rational and impartial.
Thats a good thing to much lies is being reposted or spread...before posting should make sure its true....like that minister being said to be Zimbabwean when he is South African
even if it's true you can't defame people and infringe their privacy in the name of telling the truth. Tell that truth to the persons face if it's indeed true why hide behind the keyboard.
The politicians of SA should lead by example especially EFF. To say they would marginalize the DA from the GNU is sufficient to trade as hate speech
Sort the RUclipsrs also out...for causing division and instigating hatred amoungst an already messed up country
Report those channels and posts whenever you see them. These people must lose their platforms for spreading hate and lies.

Like who? I wanna go read the comments for some drama lol
@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 Hey Zupta. Always guaranteed to see you around when your old tokoloshe props up in the news. Posting at 03:00? From Sahranpur perhaps? Only way for your Indian family to make money is by pulling the strings of the man responsible for shoving millions of my people into abject poverty. Terrible chess player the old man... KZN pulled swiftly out from right under him! Didn't see it coming did ya?!
@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 And ja, he's retracted his claim that the election was "stolen" - saw the article on Politics Web, though I haven't bothered to read his handlers ramblings. Not ever again will we be unprepared for your violence. Duduzile will answer for the 354 deaths - the product of the riots she orchestrated. We know who are enemies are. The old man won't live forever.
All this is is okay...just as long as it doesn't lead to infringing on rights to free speech and censorship.
So no freedom of speech...
Kahle kahle 😂
So Malema is going to be fired?
Well explained.
This is somewhat sounding like "witch hunt". I mean if section 16 of chapter 2 Bill of Rights states otherwise. Its funny how his on an interview with journalist! 😂 Running company based on publishing and broadcasting information. Its similar to using Applications since its 4IR. Civil claim (people rarely get money because personality right does not amount to an economic value unless you can prove beyond reasonable doubt), understanable but interfering with "labour laws" legislation undermining the "Constitution" section 16.
I understand the argument but regulating Freedom of Expression its capturing the state and its the abuse of power at its highest form. People can still sign petitions in refusal to accept such legislation before the President signs it. Also each mobile application has its Terms and Conditions that the Government in our Democratic state has allowed its citizens to use because of access to information that in the Apartheid the majority of Blacks never had access to.
So this means creative writter, somehow, write something. Someone contextualize it, and make it their own. Than they can feel that their rights have been infringed?
Twitter one app that's not for sensitive people. The content itself is not for sensitive viewers. Young children shouldn't be using social media depending on how parents restrict minors. As for hate speech Former President Zuma said it himself in Parliament that he cannot sue everyone who says bad things about him. Its pointless and unconstitutional.
This should be bought into public opinion with consideration that not everyone is employed in South Africa so the argument is to some extent is kinda tyrannical.
Good argument but not good enough.
Being racist in country that experienced apartheid. Apartheid is considered crime against humanity. Expecting to be hold parliament position that's different argument itself. This GNU with the DA in it will be exhausting . The DA never won elections it goes went into agreements with other parties. Their numbers mean nothing, this means whatever agenda they have thats unconstitutional everyone in Parliament will oppose it, whether they like it not.
South Africans majority expected ANC alone to lead.
Preach 🙏🙏🙌
Without any deliberation nor findings on facts as of this broadcast, Kevin makes the direct reference that Gouws was racist through the post? Is that not an accusation and direct “ finding” of which he has no standing to make? Imo that’s a direct concluded premature statement
Did he check with Zille
Perhaps we aren't taking this far enough, we could easily order employees, at their own cost, to set up atleast 3 independent cameras at home to ensure nothing gets through the cracks.

Employers are abusive.
Well, this legislation is irrelevant to at least 50% South Africans. Because they are unemployed, it doesn't apply.
It is aimed at employed people. So, those who pay income tax, must keep their mouths shut or what? Lose their job? Unemployed people can hardly afford air time, so they're not a threat? They can't cause trouble?
If everyone was employed it would apply to everyone. Is the government living in more fear daily or are they more tired of being embarrassed (on social mefia owing directly to their under-performance)?
And how do get a South African politician to desist from defamation of character when they're occupied all day long running down the opposition, instead of managing the economy efficiently, which is what they're paid to do. Is that what you call earning your keep? And how do you get them to tell the truth? They're always in the right and always correct, totally innocent of any wrong doing. And even though you can clearly see everything disintegrating and collapsing in front of your eyes, they claim they're not to blame. Don't they set the worst example? The public are only following their lead, so why aren't politicians ever guilty? Is there a member of the public with over 650 charges against him, but not in jail yet? Yes, at least one, Jacob Zuma. And surprise, surprise, he's a politician.
Also, aren't politicians employed by the state. Yes they are, in fact they're employed by the people. But South African politicians think they're Gods unto themselves. They don't see themselves as being employed. Hear how they continually pay tribute to themselves through the media and in their meaningless speeches. Still, the greatest of all unanswered questions in SA remains, 'what do South African politicians do'?
How can South African people go on in this ever increasing police state that SA is fast becoming. South African politicians are the pits. They have done nothing with the huge resources entrusted to them by the owners of said wealth, the people, apart from squander and steal it.
South Africans are victims of a mal administration, which now wants to criminalize and convict the very people who've supported their careers to make them who they are, by disengaging them from any own opinion. Next stop for those who express their opinion is the salt mines in Siberia for a fully paid, lifetime holiday, Kremlin style
I think Cyril Ramaphosa will be voted in motion of no confidence soon. 😂 Everyone will refuse to take him serious.
Finally
People's social media accounts get hacked all the time
I must say this new news anchor is slightly hot. 😊
Lol 😂 defamation 😂 I'm playing
wehhh
Lol
Sounds like freshly baked communism
It is.😂
You're a thief!! No, I'm sorry that is illegal and I take that back, I meant to say you are someone who takes things sometimes.
😂😂😂lol
