You could be held responsible for what others post on your Facebook or Twitter feed. That is the essence of the deal that the SA Human Rights Commission struck with Afrikaans musician Sunette Bridges yesterday.The musician - the daughter of the late Afrikaans singer Bles Bridges - is a prominent member of the "Red October" movement, which seeks to publicise events that affect Afrikaans people.Bridges was taken to the Equality Court in Cape Town by the commission early this year for effectively hosting hate speech on her Facebook page. The case was billed as a test of what constitutes hate speech on social media.Lawyer William Booth said the agreement was a step towards effective regulation of social media."This has an impact on what people say on social media and means people must be cautious and not do the same thing because they could also be taken to court," said Booth.Lawrence Mushwana, the chairman of the HRC, mounted the legal challenge against Bridges after receiving complaints about alleged racist content on her Facebook pages.HRC spokesman Isaac Mangena announced yesterday that parties had reached a settlement, which was subsequently made a court order by Judge Siraj Desai."According to the court order, Ms Bridges must regularly monitor her Facebook pages and remove any content that amounts to hate speech, harassment, or the inciting of violence," Mangena said."Ms Bridges must further post messages on her Facebook pages in both English and Afrikaans, distancing herself from any form of hate speech and harassment. She is further obliged to warn users of the content of the court order and that comments promoting hate speech, harassment and those inciting violence will not be tolerated on her pages."According to the commission, what prompted public outcry against Bridges was a post by "Siyabonga IIyezi", which stated: "I'm not condoning killing, but the reality is that these farm killings won't stop until Black people get the land they rightfully own back from those who stole it."Bridges allegedly responded: "Dit is hierdie SOT se opinie oor die 4 PLAASMOORDE die aftgelope paar dae!!!" This loosely translates as: "This is this fool's opinion of the four farm murders over these past few days."..
