Hi Erick, I suspect someone was misquoted :-) Regards On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 8:28 AM Erick Mwangi <erick.mwangi@gmail.com> wrote:
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!!!

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.
