Grace,
Quite a salient subject indeed, that the ietf makes an attempt to shed/spotlight
Happy Thursday! I would like to reference to Sam Wambugu's, Sunday 06/03/016 Sunday Nation article titled "Cloud Computing Buss Made Easy" which I'd rename " Raining in Cloud Computing". The writer uses what I would call human terminology or human-nature experiences in reference to tech situations such as " being asked whether data gets wet during RAINY SEASONS or may be damaged by LIGHTENING and THUNDER", "...storing ...on your phone MEMORY...", "...SITTING on your desktop...", "...you cannot tell where your photos or emails are SITTING but you access them when you log on to your email account or FACEbook...", "...a computer SITTING in California, Dublin..; you don't know - and most likely don't care..." The same paper insinuates that the rule of the jungle doesn't apply as it quotes ICT Cabinet Secretary on the progress to the new Communications Authority (CA) Board " So long as we follow the law, we believe that we are fine, so we should have a new board in two months." Thus what applies in Human life would expect to be seen in the Tech world including Internet space. All this humanness in the Tech world means that the Human Way applies and not vice-versa; "It is not for TECH to create HUMANS as TECH is created by HUMANS". Blessed day.

We are faced with a tougher situation in our part of the world where Citizen's with limited opportunities in advancing their education are bombarded with too much information (grape vine,politics) which they cannot synthesize properly resulting in polarization as a result of deeply divided opinions. This results in scenario's where they are risks unto themselves (thinking like Kaparo ;-)). That is why Universal Access is still key in this part of the world since it will create an empowered Citizen, Access to Education, Access to the Internet, Access to Telecommunication, access to ICT's name it.

and filtering would broadly fall under jurisdictional oversight & control and informational security
Drawing from experience, I suppose the foremost key objectives for blocking policing. For this very reason, the subject will
at best, forever remain contentious and controversial, depending on whose
perspective you seek on the matter. In other words, for a very long time to
come, it'll almost be impossible to achieve a universal, unanimous consensus on a firewall that serves "everyone' "anywhere" in this globalized networked digital village that cuts across diverse geopolitical,
religious,cultural,governance and even family or personal jurisdictions.
One
would delve on and on in finer detail on the subject - and the scope is
hugely wide, just as the ietf has disclaimed. However, my best take-away from such a rich discourse is, "Moderated Balance". Ideally, the basic minimum threshold should be; how to strive to achieve the most appropriate
concurrence where jurisdictional policing(which is necessary), either at
country/government level, corporate, or even at home - assuming you set up
a family firewall meets/embraces the inherent guaranteed/enshrined universal freedoms of access to information..
But again, who should police/enforce the attainment of this moderation and balance on jurisdictional authorities..? Using which methodologies..? Who knows..
As ietf aptly puts it in their preamble .... *"Whether particular forms of filtering are lawful in particular jurisdictions raises complicate legal
questions that are outside the scope of this document. For similar reasons,
questions about the ethics of particular forms of filtering are also out of scope"*
Plenty of regards,
Harry

Listers,
A very informative RFC especially in our context. It addresses use of various technologies for blocking and filtering communications over the
Internet. Among other things considered are user consent when employing
blocking/filtering, who sets blocking policy? who enforces blocking policy? Some
consequences.
Some takeaways are that we are going to see more blocking/filtering but
it would help if there was more
blocking, a collaborative approach is required.
"where filtering is occurring to address content that is generally agreed to be inappropriate or illegal, strong cooperation among service
and governments may

with the finance industry to identify and limit illegal
