Social networks can contribute to development

 MPs are trying to deprive the rights  of  PNG  citizens. 

For sure, the media technology should be regulated so it can be monitored according with laws that are in place with our constitution. 

Media provides an avenue where people can express their freedom of speech without worrying.

Regulating ISP would be an advantage  for the country not only to watch over (pseudonyms) people but also to monitor hackers and pornographic users.

If the government passes compulsory law on registering (SIM) Subscriber Identification Modules, then the government would be like United States’ (CIA) doing wire-tapping on all citizens, so you tell me is this legal?

MPs must understand the advantage social media brings.

It  is  giving  PNG  citizens access to the outside world information with freedom to express concerns for PNG citizens or should I say your voters. 

I also socialise on social media network like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc. 

I do see a lot of pseudonyms people posting staff that are offending to people even the MPs but  please is it something you MPs should consider a challenge for  yourself  to  act  right  upon  what your voters are saying? 

I  know a few MPs have pages on social networks so why are they hiding?

The prime minister’s PNC party has its own page on Facebook,  even Sam Basil has one. 

PNG is growing in to a world of technology, so please use social medias like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to help contribute to the development of this country an—d stop complaining about pseudonyms people.
