Regulation of Online Publications Amendments to the Press and Publications Law in 2011 and 201230 expanded its scope to cover websites and imposed various other obligations on news websites, in particular. According to Article 2, a press publication includes an “electronic” or online publication. Such publications may choose to register in accordance with rules issued by the Minister for this purpose and, if they do, they will be treated as press publications for purposes of the Law, which brings both the benefits and the obligations described in this Analysis. Article 49 of the Law places special obligations on so-called “news websites” or websites which disseminate “news, features, articles and comments related to the Kingdom's internal or external affairs”.

Article 49(b) makes it clear that “all the enforced legislation related to press publications” apply to those news websites which are required to obtain a licence. According to Article 49(g), the Director must block unlicensed websites which violate the 30 Amended Press and Publications Law no. 17 for the year 2011 and Law no. 30 for the year 2012.
