On 18 August 2023, the Film and Publications Board opened a public consultation on the guidelines for determination of harmful online content, until 2 September 2023. The guideline provides a framework for the Appeal Tribunal to assess what constitutes harmful and prohibited content, including hate speech and incitement to violence. The guideline requires analysis of content, language, intent, and context, as well as consideration of constitutional limits on freedom of expression. The guideline emphasises consulting legal precedents and expert opinions to determine harmful online content.
