Authorities to monitor social media users

Kuwait will soon start monitoring social media users who spread rumours, attack other countries or incite sectarianism and sedition, local Arabic media reported.

According to media report, a committee will be formed and the committee will scrutinize posts on social networking sites and other media platforms to identify those trying to ignite sedition and sectarianism or attack personalities and policies in other countries.

Those accounts, which are proven to have committed violations, will be referred to the judiciary.
