OPPOSITION Leader Pennelope Beckles and former prime minister Stuart Young have expressed concern about Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander about government considering laws to "crack down" on certain social media commentary.

Alexander made this comment on November 23 after he confirmed police investigations into online death threats against Opposition Senator Dr Amery Browne.

In a statement on November 24, Beckles said Alexander indicated this intended measure could be aimed at social media bloggers who the government deems to be threats to national security. He hinted TT could follow a similar policy which is being implemented in China.
