Abstract
ABSTRACTLegal and non-legal commenters across the world have criticised the promulgation of the Tanzanian Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) Regulations of 2018. The Regulations regulate inter alia online content, online content service providers, online content hosts, and users by imposing certain obligations, including the moderation of content. One of the criticisms raised by various commentators is that the law restricts access to information and freedom of expression. This article examines the purpose and content of the Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) Regulations,to determine whether they conform to the law-making standards: legality, legitimacy, legal certainty; and the international standards of fundamental rights. In the end, this article recommends areas that may need revision.
