Made by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority under section 103 of the Electronic and Postal Communications Act (Cap. 306), these Regulations apply to online content service providers, internet service providers, application service licensees, online content users and other related online content.
Regulation 18 requires any person who provides, has access to, hosts, uses online content, or operates an internet cafe to take all possible measures to ensure that children do not register, access or contribute to prohibited content, and that users are provided with a content-filtering mechanism and parental control.
The Regulations carry a general penalty for any contravention for which no specific punishment is provided, and were published in the Gazette on 17 July 2020, revoking the prior 2018 online content Regulations.
