There should be a policy on when intermediaries can honour requests for disclosure etc. Otherwise, we shall see more of such cases in our courts. Relatedly, there are some posts purportedly unveiling the owner/editor of the Daily Post, pictures, address and all attached. Interesting times we live in! 2014-12-10 16:09 GMT+03:00 Victor Kapiyo via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke>:
Interesting times, i must say.
It would be prudent if CAK and other agencies started looking at legislation on this area, as should they fail, the courts will make the law.

Interesting to see that the issue of Internet Governance, specifically Third Party Liability, is coming into play in our courts. What is worrying is that I'm not seeing any policy direction on this issue.
This was a key discussion point during WCIT12. Again, the issue of where we stand on this particularly important treaty is left for us to guess..

The Constitutional and Human Rights Division of the High Court, sitting in Nairobi, declined to grant Google Kenya's prayers to be struck out of the case in which Ms Waiguru has sued Google Kenya and its mother company Google Incorporated.
Google Kenya had made the application in response to a suit the Cabinet Secretary had filed against it and Google Inc. as part of her fight with a Kenyan website Daily Post over publication of a story she claims was defamatory.
