  • Freedom on the Net 2019
    Egypt Not Free 26 100 A Obstacles to Access 10 25 B Limits on Content 11 35 C Violations of User Rights 540 Last Year's Score & Status 28 100 Not Free Overview Internet freedom declined further as a result of increased blocking in the period surrounding the April 2019 constitutional referendum as well as two new pieces of legislation that allowed the blocking of websites deemed to threaten national security, compelled service providers to retain user data, and subjected bloggers and social media users to account deletion, fines, and imprisonment if they were found to be spreading false news. Pretrial detention for various journalists and activists was repeatedly extended during the coverage period. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who first took power in a July 2013 coup, continues to govern Egypt in an increasingly authoritarian manner. Meaningful political opposition is virtually nonexistent, as both liberal and Islamist activists face criminal prosecution and imprisonment. Terrorism persists in the Sinai Peninsula and has also struck the Egyptian mainland, despite the government’s use of aggressive and often abusive tactics to combat it. Key Developments June 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019 In August 2018, President Sisi signed a new law that compels media outlets to obtain a license from the Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR). The legislation defines media outlets to include any website or social media account with at least 5,000 subscribers, and the individuals behind such outlets could be subject to account deletion, fines, and imprisonment if they are found to be spreading false news. The law was first implemented in March 2019, when authorities fined and blocked the website of the independent newspaper Al-Mashhad (see B1, B6 and C2).
