Listers, I have read a report in one of the local dailies that we will now need an ID to log into the internet. I thought the focus would be strengthening data and online user protection laws and investing in cyber security/information security working groups and civic education. Now we are required to submit even more information so that we can be safer!!! Eric On Mon, 20 May 2019, 06:32 Barrack Otieno via kictanet, < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Sharing this good article from CNN on Finland’s approach to fake news:

TL;DR: Finland has long been a target of Russian disinformation campaigns; it combines media literacy training with reliable media and regulation. Its defenses are so strong that Russia has turned to softer targets.
