Citizen journalism is nearing its end
According to this week’s parliamentary agenda, a proposal is set to be discussed on the floor, which seems likely to be listed among the controversial proposals of the eleventh parliament: the proposal to intensify penalties for those collaborating with hostile countries’ actions against national security and interests.
This proposal is drafted in seven articles, but it seems that one of its clauses is designed in response to social networks and the widespread dissemination of videos on them.
The seventh and final article of this proposal targets a phenomenon that is frequently seen these days: the phenomenon of citizen journalism, which has become widespread in recent years and during the recent protests has brought many of the occurrences on the streets and in society to the public’s attention.
