[fellowships-alumni] Internet Gov Weekly Brief : Teresa May to fight cyber extremism; Egypt blocks 20 websites; Qatar QNA hacked; LACNIC-LACRALO sign MOU; Central Africa IXPs; AIS; India digital economy to grow;

[Michael Oghia]

I understand and agree with the sentiment Mamadou. As you know, I really
appreciate your weekly briefings as well, especially since you curate it
yourself. If you don't mind my suggestion, I recommend putting a note next
to articles like the one that Milton pointed out, highlighting that it is /
likely is fake, misleading, or false.

In the end, if something is published, it still has the ability to
influence minds and perspectives -- regardless of whether it is real or
fake.

Thank you again, and keep up the good work!
