Dear listers, We want to bring your attention to a significant development in Kenya’s legislative landscape—the introduction of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime (Amendment) Bill, 2024. This bill seeks to expand the powers of the government, allowing the National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee (NC4) to block websites and applications that are deemed to promote "illegal activities" or "extreme religious and cultic practices." The vague language in this proposal raises important concerns about potential censorship, surveillance, and the economic ramifications for digital platforms and users alike. Victor Kapiyo has provided an in-depth analysis of the bill and its implications. You can read the analysis from this link: https://www.kictanet.or.ke/proposal-to-block-websites-and-applications-threa... We would like to hear your thoughts on this issue. What do you think about the proposed powers of the NC4? Do you see potential benefits, or do you have concerns about censorship and freedom of expression? Your feedback is valuable to us, and we look forward to your insights!
