Good morning Listers I hope your week is starting well. Last week, we held a f2f breakfast meeting to discuss intermediary liability in Kenya. As promised by Alice, we would like to continue with this discussion for this week. As Kenya prepares for elections next year, and with all the political alignments taking place, we are likely to see intermediaries being blamed for carrying utterances of our politicians. The media has been blamed many times by politicians for ‘misquoting’ them yet in many instances there is video footage to confirm that the politicians did indeed say certain things. For those who watched the youtube video that ridiculed Prophet Muhammad and resulted in the killing of Christopher Stephens, the US ambassador to Libya and three American members of his staff by angry protesters (or lynch mob as some people called them), who would you say was wrong or where would you place the responsibility for this eventuality? Would you say it is the video producers or or youtube or who? Lets hear it from you listers. A wonderful week to all of you.RgdsGG

Dear Chip and all
Thank you for sharing these valuable resources to enrich intermediary liability discussions.
However, we have a more pressing issue to discuss, our "mobile switch off" (and here's a great article on that http://www.ihub.co.ke/blog/2012/10/phones-switch-off-how-it-was-done-why-and...)
We will focus on that for a while and come back to the internet liability discussion after the breakfast meeting on 10th October. But this should not stop any lister from posting an opinion on the issue.
Best Alice
