Dear Lister!

Trusting you are well, a great appreciation to all who shared their views on Day 1! We are on Day 2 of  “Talk2Facebook”, today we focus on Data Protection Issues.

Kenya enacted its Data Protection & Privacy Act in 2019 where the rights of individuals (data subjects) have been enhanced. Share your comments, experiences, and challenges with regard to Facebook Services along the following themes:

a) Have you managed to exercise your right to access and port (move) all your data that you ever posted on FB?


b) Have you managed to exercise your right to be forgotten, where you demand FB deletes all the digital footprint they have about?

As the adage goes, "the internet doesn't forget". Many have been adversely affected in their careers and or personal lives over stands they held as younger immature individuals. Despite have made a step out of those stands, the past inadvertently comes back to haunt them through an FB post. The documentary " Facebook follies" has some examples.

c) Have you managed to exercise your right to modify or restrict the consent you previously granted to FB?

This goes far beyond only that given to FB. There has been instances of love affairs gone south and a one decides to "punish" the other by posting very personal photos. On the other side there are those fake accounts that use other people's identities eg photo to purport to be them, FB has many a time failed to act and people's lives have been messed. 

 

You can still comment on yesterday’s topic under that thread. Otherwise, we hope to hear all your concerns around Data Protection today on this thread so tomorrow we discuss “Human Rights & Transparency” matters.

 

Wonderful Thursday!

 

Rest of the Program:

Day 3: Human Rights & Transparency

Day 4: Connectivity & Wrap Up

 

Warm Regards,

Tr. Karis

Walu
