Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, has emphasized the need for social media regulation.
He said this during the public presentation of a book in Lagos through a statement by Tunde Alao, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Media), Office of the Lagos State Deputy Governor.
Gbajabiamila highlighted the potential dangers, citing the global reach and the unintended consequences it may pose to individuals and society.
“The social media has become a societal menace and must be regulated. As many people do not understand that once the send button is hit, there is a potential to reach millions of people around the world which is capable of causing a great danger not just in the society but even unintended consequences to the individuals that are receiving information which may include security of life,” the statement quoted Gbajabiamila as saying.
