JUFFA RESPONDS TO CALLS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATION

My response was in this fashion: we should focus on being leaders and understand that this is the world we now live in and though it may be frustrating and at times inspire anger, we must rise up beyond this and do what is expected of us and remember, that as leaders, we are subject to criticism...there will always be those who love you no matter what, those who hate you no matter what and those who fall in between these two extremities based on information they perceive or receive whether factual or not....it is part of accepting the role of leadership...even Barak Obama and Vladimir Putin, two world leaders, are subject to all manner of criticism and they cannot control this, we also do not have the resources and means to be able to monitor and trace and review all communication efforts. We also cannot seriously consider registering sim cards because how do we expect our little people to have identification cards such as passports and drivers licenses? We shall also most certainly attract the criticism of those who will most surely cry out that this is oppressive and undemocratic...note also that there must be avenues to allow those who have genuine claims and concerns such as the whistleblowers legislation and so forth. Interestingly my response was not captured by the media.
