Adam Shareef Umar Reaffirms Commitment to Press Freedom Amid Internet Censorship Controversy
Minister of Cities, Local Government and Public Works Adam Shareef Umar said the government is committed to preserving the freedom of news websites regardless of registration status, after three websites were blocked earlier in the month. He said the government will not issue blocking directives absent a direct threat to safety or national security, while two unregistered sites remain inaccessible from the Maldives.

the reports' own quoted words, each once
In the absence of a direct threat to an individual’s safety or national security, the government will refrain from issuing directives to block any website
Websites were blocked due to violations of established policies and their role in fomenting discord. I am not in favour of blocking any websites, and I anticipate that the government will refrain from such actions in the future
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
