OPPOSITION MP Stuart Young said government is crossing the line as he sounded an alarm on its social-media crackdown.

On his Facebook page on November 24, Young posted screenshots of the Newsday and Express front-page stories which quoted Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander as saying there were too many reckless online statements.

As he confirmed a probe into death threats against Opposition Senator Dr Amery Browne, Alexander told Newsday something must be done to stop people from using social media to spread misinformation and chaos.
