Listers, Might be of interest to some. Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raquel Gatto <gatto(a)isoc.org> Date: Tue, May 1, 2018 at 6:04 AM Subject: [Internetcollaboration] Fwd: [IGFmaglist] Call for workshop proposals To: Elist internetcollaboration <internetcollaboration(a)elists.isoc.org> Hi all, The IGF 2018 Call for Workshops is now open until 27 May (details below). As part of the previous discussions, it is really important to have more technical community proposals to contribute for the overall program of the IGF. Of course that’s only a piece of the discussions we had, and we should also continue the key conversations around the improvements and future of the IGF. Perhaps we can set a call in the next days to advance some common views. Finally, the MAG is meeting again this week on Wednesday and hopefully we will hear about the upcoming venue. I will keep you posted. Thanks, Raquel Gatto Regional Policy Advisor Internet Society Início da mensagem encaminhada: *De:* Chengetai Masango <chengetai.masango(a)un.org> *Data:* 30 de abril de 2018 11:54:36 GMT-4 *Para:* MAG-public <Igfmaglist(a)intgovforum.org> *Assunto:* *[IGFmaglist] Call for workshop proposals* Dear All, The Secretariat has published the Call for workshop proposals on the IGF website: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018- call-for-workshop-proposals Deadline for submission is *27 May 2018* Please publicize the call through your various networks.

DNA + Data Protection Law
by S.M. Muraya 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Via @JWalu Whereas governments have every right to collect any data from citizens, they should only do so under established laws that clearly balance out citizen privacy rights against government propensity for abuse. We have repeatedly argued here for a data protection law <https://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/2274560-4031222-jpne6o/i…>. But the recent development can only reinforce the point that we are more than late in enacting a data protection law. https://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/2274560-4495178-m0qc4d/i…

The case for and against #deletefacebook
by Ali Hussein 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Listers Hope you all had a great weekend. Here’s an interesting article on the ongoing Facebook fallout. Excerpt:- I spent the evening with a friend who is far bolder than me. Having deactivated his Facebook profile three years ago, he upped the ante this week by deleting his Instagram account. Even more drastically, he plans officially to delete his long-dormant Facebook account—the last vestige of his serfhood in Mr. Zuckerberg’s fiefdom—sometime very soon, after his girlfriend has had an opportunity to port its photos elsewhere. (He prefers offline storage.)

Concern
by Mildred Achoch 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Dear Listers, I have been blocked by one Peter Cummings @CummingsThatiah for expressing concern about beshte.com. Number 6 of the beshte.com Terms and conditions says: "6.1 To be eligible for [an account] on our website under this Section 6, you must [be resident or situated in the United Kingdom]." Yet this individual posted a Tweet urging Kenyans to join beshte.com so as to earn 100,000 just for using it. I also came across this: https://www.kenyatalk.com/index.php?threads/beshte-com-is-a-scam.73494/ Regards, Mildred Achoch. -- Check out the Rock 'n' roll film festival, Kenya TV Channel! http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com
