Zimbabwe’s government has introduced a licensing requirement for Whatsapp group administrators to curb misinformation and enhance accountability on social media platforms. The licensing fee ranges from $50 to $2,500, depending on the type of Whatsapp group. Administrators must provide personal information to obtain a license from the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ). This move aims to track and hold accountable those spreading false information that could incite violence or unrest. However, critics raise concerns about freedom of speech, privacy, and the potential chilling effect on public discourse.
