.KE SGR + CNBC - Why The US Has No High-Speed Rail
by S.M. Muraya 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Interesting documentary here.. Why The US Has No High-Speed Rail - https://youtu.be/Qaf6baEu0_w Even with digital transformations, the USA is still creating (service industry jobs) which require movement of people + cargo, not just movement of money (online banking services). MAYBE, the KE SGR will break even in 30 years (serving over 90 Mln Kenyans) if Kenyan SMEs are empowered to create more jobs all over Kenya. http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/opinion/2010/04/28/demographic-transition-… worldpopulationreview.com/countries/kenya-population/

by Alice Munyua 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Very interesting research focusing on perceptions of and attitudes towards privacy, data sharing and trust in four African countries. Key finding: “Mobile users attitudes to trust, privacy and identity linked services are often independent from the presence or absence of a comprehensive data protection/privacy law” https://www.gsma.com/mobilefordevelopment/blog/50297/

In Court, Facebook Blames Users for Destroying Right to Privacy
by Alice Munyua 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Still trying to understand perceptions of privacy/data protection. Here is a really interesting coverage of recent Facebook courtroom debates. Face book says they have worked very hard to build privacy into all their products, but once you share information with your friends “you have lost control over the information and it’s subsequent disclosures” Here is the article: https://theintercept.com/2019/06/14/facebook-privacy-policy-court/ Thanks Patrick, Ali, Barrack, Grace, Esther, Poncelet and others for your comments on the Mozilla privacy by default initiative. Very best regards Alice
