"Competition" promoting "#IECMustFall"

Outcome

Background & Outcome

The promised competition is at best misleading. The content is an operation to generate and amplify incitement inducing speech which is a clear public harm. The content is more than simply reiterate a hashtag and the circulation of militant imagery. It is conduct of aiming to amplify incitement speech and it is an invitation for further incitement speech. The content is an amplification of incitement speech that has an additional scam element - the promise of monetary prizes is undoubtedly misleading.
