SECTOR 1 1.9 The state does not seek to block or filter Internet content unless in accordance with laws that provide for restrictions that serve a legitimate interest and are necessary in a democratic society, and which are applied by independent courts. There are no laws that allow government to illegitimately block or filter internet content. The Electronic Transactions and Cyber Crime Bill of 2013 is currently being finalised to specifically address internet assisted offences. One panellist was very worried about there not being enough oversight mechanisms in the said Bill. Even in the absence of such a law, in 2013 in the first case of its kind, the Windhoek High Court granted a young woman, Grace Zamuee, an interim order against her former boyfriend, Klaus Weichhaus, to, amongst others, remove all defamatory material concerning her from his Facebook profile.

There are slightly over 400 civil society organisations in Namibia, but apart from MISA Namibia, only the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) and the Legal Assistance Center (LAC) actively and visibly advance the cause of media freedom by engaging with issues of freedom of expression and access to information. Usually there is issue-based support by individual organisations but not enough proactively coordinated effort. Sometimes individual media houses also join advocacy efforts.
