Why is the title misleading?

> "I have instructed my departments... to immediately suspend the site www.me.ga," said Communication Minister Blaise Louembe, according to the AFP French news agency.

> Communication Minister Blaise Louembe, [said] he wanted to "protect intellectual property rights" and "fight cyber crime effectively". "Gabon cannot serve as a platform or screen for committing acts aimed at violating copyrights, nor be used by unscrupulous people,"

I presume that the original title just said "by government."
Ah, that makes sense.
