[Chapter-delegates] 'social media' experience for policy makers [Re: Twitter officially banned in Pakistan - more to follow]

[Barrack Otieno]

Christian,

am basing my arguments on a Socio-economic perspective. Governments exist
to protect the citizenry and ensure that there is a conducive environment
for them to socialise and have decent livelihood, this in itself differs
across different jurisdictions.
