Goodmorning Listers, Many thanks @Judy Okite <judyokite@gmail.com> for kickstarting the discussion. For starters i have observed that lately the number of Socially Engineered emails i am receiving is at an all time high. Spam calls also seem to be on the rise. It looks like scammers have realized that the new field of play is the Internet as such i am increasingly weary about engaging in e-commerce transactions online especially using public networks. I would be interested in knowing the current statistics in so far as Internet related fraud is concerned and how many people have actually been charged for perpetrating such acts. Maybe the Ke-CIRT team can assist us with the statistics. The same concern applies to the second question. Children are ever ahead of adults in discovering and using tech applications and tool. The Communications Authority has been running a Child Online Protection program for a while and i would be keen to know the current state of play in so far as data protection is concerned. @Lillian <lillian@watotowatchnetwork.org> recently posted an article from Human Rights Watch on misuse of data by companies targeting children, it would be interesting to hear if any measures have been taken by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to curb this.

Dear Barrack, If I may offer you a tip and a safeguard on e-commerce: There are cards that banks issue whether you bank with them or not, which you can load using Mpesa and use to transact online so that you do not expose your main card to fraudsters. I've had one from I&M Bank since 2011 (renewable), and I load it with just the money I need to make a purchase so I never worry about any unauthorized purchases on it. It's a great way to beat online fraud exposure! Kathy On Wed, 22 Jun 2022 at 07:21, Barrack Otieno via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Thank you Barrack for the questions , I do hope that those in the relevant institutions/positions will be able to assist or share further information, as we continue with the discussions. Thank you Kathy, for the tip :-). Am wondering whether all banks have these services and information for anyone and everyone or it's one of those *you must ask* . Just the other day I saw in the news CS Gicheru opening a Data protection and compliance conference, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w59n41KX1QQ I was just wondering whether any one here in this mailing list had an opportunity to attend and if there were any insights that can help us with our questions for the day.

Good Morning Listers, Interesting conversations on governing data and protecting privacy yesterday. As mentioned earlier by the KIGF- MAG Chair, we continue the online discussions today. *Today's topic*:* ICTS and the upcoming election * To kick off these discussions, we ask; 1. Our elections are a few weeks to come, are we confident in the preparations by IEBC and other agencies involved in electoral management? If not, how best can these agencies be supported to prepare for the election? 2. What role has social media played during this election? We look forward to a vibrant discussion and once again do not forget to register to participate in this year's main IGF events using this link: https://bit.ly/39pXf9a. Our official hashtag is *#KeIGF2022* Kind Regards,
Goodmorning Listers,
Many thanks @Judy Okite <judyokite@gmail.com> for kickstarting the discussion. For starters i have observed that lately the number of Socially Engineered emails i am receiving is at an all time high. Spam calls also seem to be on the rise. It looks like scammers have realized that the new field of play is the Internet as such i am increasingly weary about engaging in e-commerce transactions online especially using public networks.
I would be interested in knowing the current statistics in so far as Internet related fraud is concerned and how many people have actually been charged for perpetrating such acts. Maybe the Ke-CIRT team can assist us with the statistics.
The same concern applies to the second question. Children are ever ahead of adults in discovering and using tech applications and tool. The Communications Authority has been running a Child Online Protection program for a while and i would be keen to know the current state of play in so far as data protection is concerned. @Lillian <lillian@watotowatchnetwork.org> recently posted an article from Human Rights Watch on misuse of data by companies targeting children, it would be interesting to hear if any measures have been taken by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to curb this.
Best Regards

Dear Listers, For me, when such questions emerge, I always ask myself questions; One, the IEBC normally responds by sticking to the law and the regulations as passed by Bunge. Does that mean parliament normally pass things that they do not understand? Two, is there a need to re-look at the same laws and perhaps look at what can be amended before the election year? This is where we normally get it wrong every electoral cycle, we make elections an event and not a process. *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 <https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-indeje/> On Thu, 23 Jun 2022 at 06:54, wanjiru muya via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Dear Listers, This is an important issue and I would like to thank you Wanjiru for leading this discussion. A research by Mozilla Fellow Odanga Madung revealed that there is disinformation being spread on TikTok and it violates the platform’s policies. This disinformation is similar in tone and quality to the Cambridge Analytica and Harris Media content that spread on Kenyan Facebook in 2017. In 2017 we did not have Tiktok but now we can see new platforms being used by politicians to push their agenda. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/kenya-tiktok/ The campaigns are still ongoing and the social media discourse is becoming more political by the day. We can only hope for sanity, maturity and patriotism by those online. Kind regards, On Thu, 23 Jun 2022 at 06:43, wanjiru muya via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Good Morning Listers, Today is our third day of our online discuss, we reflect on: *Topic: Connecting all people and promoting cyber hygiene and emerging issues including youth, online work, inclusion and regulation.* On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 9:28 PM Francis Monyango via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
Dear Listers, This is an important issue and I would like to thank you Wanjiru for leading this discussion. A research by Mozilla Fellow Odanga Madung revealed that there is disinformation being spread on TikTok and it violates the platform’s policies. This disinformation is similar in tone and quality to the Cambridge Analytica and Harris Media content that spread on Kenyan Facebook in 2017. In 2017 we did not have Tiktok but now we can see new platforms being used by politicians to push their agenda.

The campaigns are still ongoing and the social media discourse is becoming more political by the day. We can only hope for sanity, maturity and patriotism by those online.

Good Morning Listers, Interesting conversations on governing data and protecting privacy yesterday. As mentioned earlier by the KIGF- MAG Chair, we continue the online discussions today.
*Today's topic*:* ICTS and the upcoming election *
To kick off these discussions, we ask;
1.
Our elections are a few weeks to come, are we confident in the preparations by IEBC and other agencies involved in electoral management? If not, how best can these agencies be supported to prepare for the election? 2.
What role has social media played during this election?
We look forward to a vibrant discussion and once again do not forget to register to participate in this year's main IGF events using this link: https://bit.ly/39pXf9a. Our official hashtag is *#KeIGF2022*
Kind Regards,
Goodmorning Listers,
Many thanks @Judy Okite <judyokite@gmail.com> for kickstarting the discussion. For starters i have observed that lately the number of Socially Engineered emails i am receiving is at an all time high. Spam calls also seem to be on the rise. It looks like scammers have realized that the new field of play is the Internet as such i am increasingly weary about engaging in e-commerce transactions online especially using public networks.
I would be interested in knowing the current statistics in so far as Internet related fraud is concerned and how many people have actually been charged for perpetrating such acts. Maybe the Ke-CIRT team can assist us with the statistics.
The same concern applies to the second question. Children are ever ahead of adults in discovering and using tech applications and tool. The Communications Authority has been running a Child Online Protection program for a while and i would be keen to know the current state of play in so far as data protection is concerned. @Lillian <lillian@watotowatchnetwork.org> recently posted an article from Human Rights Watch on misuse of data by companies targeting children, it would be interesting to hear if any measures have been taken by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to curb this.
Best Regards

Good morning, As we make the reflection *Connecting all people and promoting cyber hygiene and emerging issues including youth, online work, inclusion and regulation, my concern is on information accessibility and availability. For the youthful population, what is their degree of awareness on existing regulations, as they engage online are they aware of how to enhance their privacy? On inclusion, is there existing data on persons with disabilities and their general consumption of the internet? * *Looking forward to learning from you all. * On Fri, Jun 24, 2022 at 8:14 AM Nancy marangu <marangukn@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Listers, It should be noted that on this topic, especially for our children, the Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs and Special Programmes developed a national plan of action to tackle online child sexual exploitation and abuse. The plan is grounded in the ‘WeProtect Model National Response’ and has five key areas — law, policy leadership and coordination, prevention, capacity strengthening, response and support services, and monitoring and evaluating progress. This is in cognizant that 12 million children in Kenya have access to adult content. Then how can we mitigate this? Currently, though not rolled out in Africa, in future you will need an ID to register on Instagram. How effective has Youtube for Kids, Facebook for Kids being like in our own households? https://nation.africa/kenya/news/study-reveals-scary-pitfalls-in-online-lear... *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 <https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-indeje/> On Fri, 24 Jun 2022 at 08:34, Nancy marangu via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Dear Listers, This is an important issue and I would like to thank you Wanjiru for leading this discussion. A research by Mozilla Fellow Odanga Madung revealed that there is disinformation being spread on TikTok and it violates the platform’s policies. This disinformation is similar in tone and quality to the Cambridge Analytica and Harris Media content that spread on Kenyan Facebook in 2017. In 2017 we did not have Tiktok but now we can see new platforms being used by politicians to push their agenda.

The campaigns are still ongoing and the social media discourse is becoming more political by the day. We can only hope for sanity, maturity and patriotism by those online.

Good Morning Listers, Interesting conversations on governing data and protecting privacy yesterday. As mentioned earlier by the KIGF- MAG Chair, we continue the online discussions today.
*Today's topic*:* ICTS and the upcoming election *
To kick off these discussions, we ask;
1.
Our elections are a few weeks to come, are we confident in the preparations by IEBC and other agencies involved in electoral management? If not, how best can these agencies be supported to prepare for the election? 2.
What role has social media played during this election?
We look forward to a vibrant discussion and once again do not forget to register to participate in this year's main IGF events using this link: https://bit.ly/39pXf9a. Our official hashtag is *#KeIGF2022*

Good evening all,
Kindly find attached the summary of the day's reflection.
Thank you for your participation.
Good evening, Kindly see the summary as plain text: Day 3: * Connecting all people and promoting cyber hygiene and emerging issues including youth, online work, inclusion and regulation.* *Observed:* for the youthful population, what is their degree of awareness on existing regulations, as they engage online are they aware of how to enhance their privacy? On inclusion, is there existing data on persons with disabilities and their general consumption of the internet? *Noted:* especially for children, the Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs and Special Programmes developed a national plan of action to tackle online child sexual exploitation and abuse. The plan is grounded in the ‘We Protect Model National Response’ and has five key areas — law, policy leadership and coordination, prevention, capacity strengthening, response and support services, and monitoring and evaluating progress. *Emphasized:* 12 million children in Kenya have access to adult content. How can we mitigate this? Currently, though not rolled out in Africa, in future one will need an ID to register on Instagram. How effective has Youtube for Kids, Facebook for Kids been like in our own households? *Link:* https://nation.africa/kenya/news/study-reveals-scary-pitfalls-in-online-lear... *Highlighted:* a lot of work yet to be done on international transfer of data from Kenya which in turn infringes on our data privacy under protection laws. Over-reliance on foreign clouds and weak oversight mechanisms create a watershed for that. Further, the expensive litigation fees suing big tech gurus like Facebook and Twitter scares victims of data breaches through international transfer of data to foreign servers. *Underscored:* for people to connect in a matter that benefits all, the digital divide must be done away with. At the moment we have two groups, one that is very high level of digital literacy and one with very low level of digital literacy. *Underlined:* the question that government should address is, should we invest on the low divide which has low or no digital literacy or should we invest on the higher digital knowledge divide to ensure they advance even further? Where should the government put its money? Where will there be a greater return? *Underscored:* on regulation, the legal framework is always behind the technological advancements. Technology is an area that advances and changes very fast but the law is very rigid and not ready to change that fast. How can this be addressed? Should there be digital law reforms and introduction of new study areas in the area of digital law? On Sat, Jun 25, 2022 at 9:37 AM Benson Muite via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

I agree with you Francis, Recently SABC News interviewed digital strategies from 2 political parties in Kenya to understand how they are using social media during this campaign season. The interview highlighted that Political parties consider social media is very important to win elections as it provides avenues to speak to voters directly. Interesting was the role associated with Video content on all platforms but also TikTok, because of how the platform is designed, you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIbiqyBdV4E My question is, what steps have platforms taken to minimize misuse of their platforms to spread misinformation, disinformation, hate speech or Online Gender based violence related content? What more can be done to deal with this? On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 9:11 PM Francis Monyango <monyango93@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Listers, This is an important issue and I would like to thank you Wanjiru for leading this discussion. A research by Mozilla Fellow Odanga Madung revealed that there is disinformation being spread on TikTok and it violates the platform’s policies. This disinformation is similar in tone and quality to the Cambridge Analytica and Harris Media content that spread on Kenyan Facebook in 2017. In 2017 we did not have Tiktok but now we can see new platforms being used by politicians to push their agenda.
https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/kenya-tiktok/
The campaigns are still ongoing and the social media discourse is becoming more political by the day. We can only hope for sanity, maturity and patriotism by those online.
Kind regards,

Good Morning Listers, Interesting conversations on governing data and protecting privacy yesterday. As mentioned earlier by the KIGF- MAG Chair, we continue the online discussions today.
*Today's topic*:* ICTS and the upcoming election *
To kick off these discussions, we ask;
1.
Our elections are a few weeks to come, are we confident in the preparations by IEBC and other agencies involved in electoral management? If not, how best can these agencies be supported to prepare for the election? 2.
What role has social media played during this election?
We look forward to a vibrant discussion and once again do not forget to register to participate in this year's main IGF events using this link: https://bit.ly/39pXf9a. Our official hashtag is *#KeIGF2022*
Kind Regards,
Goodmorning Listers,
Many thanks @Judy Okite <judyokite@gmail.com> for kickstarting the discussion. For starters i have observed that lately the number of Socially Engineered emails i am receiving is at an all time high. Spam calls also seem to be on the rise. It looks like scammers have realized that the new field of play is the Internet as such i am increasingly weary about engaging in e-commerce transactions online especially using public networks.
I would be interested in knowing the current statistics in so far as Internet related fraud is concerned and how many people have actually been charged for perpetrating such acts. Maybe the Ke-CIRT team can assist us with the statistics.
The same concern applies to the second question. Children are ever ahead of adults in discovering and using tech applications and tool. The Communications Authority has been running a Child Online Protection program for a while and i would be keen to know the current state of play in so far as data protection is concerned. @Lillian <lillian@watotowatchnetwork.org> recently posted an article from Human Rights Watch on misuse of data by companies targeting children, it would be interesting to hear if any measures have been taken by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to curb this.
Best Regards

Dear Listers, On question 1 I think people are over fearful regarding the issue of data protection. I would suggest that they need to take the same approach as organizations are doing by conducting a personal data privacy impact assessment. E.g. what is the real risk of your personal identifiable Information leaking? One example I considered in say your telephone number. You hide it online but hand out your business cards that have your contact details.

I would say the main issue I have is that most services/websites/apps don’t give any options. You accept the Terms and Conditions or you don’t. It is good that nowadays, at least in Android that I know well, permissions can be easily denied or limited for apps in relation to accessing certain functions from the device. However this is not the same as using data itself. Hopefully in the future there will be more flexibility and options around what one accepts. With cookies, some websites give options (either a list of several things you can toggle on or off, or options of reject, minimum required, all) though other websites don’t give options at all. I am not aware of any voluntary standards in Kenya that a website/app/service could self-certify against or be independently verified against that shows they meet such standards around use of data protection/privacy. An Act really only defines illegal and legal, but it is good to have different options within legal that can show strong, stronger, very strong protections, for example, that are something that is voluntary but could be recognized by users.

Hi @Adam Lane <adam.lane@huawei.com> Many thanks. We have tonnes of domesticated ISO 27,000 series Standards at the Kenya Bureau of Standards. Together with @John Walubengo <jwalubengo@kictanet.or.ke> and other listers we have been involved in local standards development. The Challenge we have always faced is that Standards focusing on ICT are voluntary. Only those touching on Health and Safety are mandatory. With creation of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, things might change. Best Regards On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 2:45 PM Adam Lane via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

I am not aware of any voluntary standards in Kenya that a website/app/service could self-certify against or be independently verified against that shows they meet such standards around use of data protection/privacy. An Act really only defines illegal and legal, but it is good to have different options within legal that can show strong, stronger, very strong protections, for example, that are something that is voluntary but could be recognized by users.

Dear Listers,
On question 1 I think people are over fearful regarding the issue of data protection. I would suggest that they need to take the same approach as organizations are doing by conducting a personal data privacy impact assessment. E.g. what is the real risk of your personal identifiable Information leaking?
One example I considered in say your telephone number. You hide it online but hand out your business cards that have your contact details.

Hi Barrack, are those standards addressing the issue I raise around data protection and privacy, i.e. if you meet the standard then you do not share data to third parties, or that any data you share is anonymized, or to some other definition? I am not an ISO expert, but I thought they focus more on following processes than actual results, and may not be specific enough to convince me they are not sharing my data…. Maybe I am just not well enough informed, in which case whoever promotes such ISO standards that can assure me of such are not promoting it very well, or have few apps/websites/services adopting such standards, or both…. Being voluntary is a good thing. But there needs to be awareness of the benefits of those standards; and maybe some market pressure to adopt the standards From: Barrack Otieno [mailto:barrack@kictanet.or.ke] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2022 2:58 PM To: Kenya's premier ICT Policy engagement platform <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke>; John Walubengo <jwalubengo@kictanet.or.ke> Cc: Adam Lane <adam.lane@huawei.com>; awatila@gmail.com Subject: Re: [kictanet] Kenya Internet Governance Forum Online Discussion- Day 1 - Governing Data and Protecting Privacy Hi @Adam Lane<mailto:adam.lane@huawei.com> Many thanks.

Hi Adam, Well the standards are pretty high level but they elicit a sense of responsibility from anyone who acquires them towards ensuring their information assets are properly managed and well protected. Digitalization revolves around processes , the standards actually address such processes. Not sure if there is a simpler solution among other bodies such as ISACA. Probably ISACA members on the list can shed some light. @Mwendwa Kivuva <kivuva@kictanet.or.ke> On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 3:38 PM Adam Lane <adam.lane@huawei.com> wrote:

Thank you Listers for the continued discussions, once again I would request those within these institutions that can shed some more light or share information, to kindly do so. One of the key things that I can pick from this discussion is that there is lack of awareness, i.e because within your network you are aware of e.g the standards, tools etc we assume that everyone knows. How do we create this awareness ? Who should create this awareness? To whom ? I look forward to hearing from you, we still have another day to share, even as we continue to engage with our day 2 discussion: Topic: *ICTs and the Upcoming Elections* Kind Regards *'Chance Favors the prepared mind'* - Louis Pasteur On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 3:52 PM Barrack Otieno via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
Hi Adam,
Well the standards are pretty high level but they elicit a sense of responsibility from anyone who acquires them towards ensuring their information assets are properly managed and well protected. Digitalization revolves around processes , the standards actually address such processes. Not sure if there is a simpler solution among other bodies such as ISACA. Probably ISACA members on the list can shed some light. @Mwendwa Kivuva <kivuva@kictanet.or.ke>

Hi Barrack, are those standards addressing the issue I raise around data protection and privacy, i.e. if you meet the standard then you do not share data to third parties, or that any data you share is anonymized, or to some other definition? I am not an ISO expert, but I thought they focus more on following processes than actual results, and may not be specific enough to convince me they are not sharing my data….
Maybe I am just not well enough informed, in which case whoever promotes such ISO standards that can assure me of such are not promoting it very well, or have few apps/websites/services adopting such standards, or both….
Being voluntary is a good thing. But there needs to be awareness of the benefits of those standards; and maybe some market pressure to adopt the standards

Hi @Adam Lane <adam.lane@huawei.com>
Many thanks. We have tonnes of domesticated ISO 27,000 series Standards at the Kenya Bureau of Standards. Together with @John Walubengo <jwalubengo@kictanet.or.ke> and other listers we have been involved in local standards development. The Challenge we have always faced is that Standards focusing on ICT are voluntary. Only those touching on Health and Safety are mandatory. With creation of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, things might change.
Best Regards

I would say the main issue I have is that most services/websites/apps don’t give any options. You accept the Terms and Conditions or you don’t. It is good that nowadays, at least in Android that I know well, permissions can be easily denied or limited for apps in relation to accessing certain functions from the device. However this is not the same as using data itself. Hopefully in the future there will be more flexibility and options around what one accepts. With cookies, some websites give options (either a list of several things you can toggle on or off, or options of reject, minimum required, all) though other websites don’t give options at all.
I am not aware of any voluntary standards in Kenya that a website/app/service could self-certify against or be independently verified against that shows they meet such standards around use of data protection/privacy. An Act really only defines illegal and legal, but it is good to have different options within legal that can show strong, stronger, very strong protections, for example, that are something that is voluntary but could be recognized by users.

Adam

Dear Listers,
On question 1 I think people are over fearful regarding the issue of data protection. I would suggest that they need to take the same approach as organizations are doing by conducting a personal data privacy impact assessment. E.g. what is the real risk of your personal identifiable Information leaking?
One example I considered in say your telephone number. You hide it online but hand out your business cards that have your contact details.

Hi Alex, Interesting perspective. While at it , since organizations have Standards like the ISO 27000 series, where can individuals get credible standards for self assessment?, i think this would be critical tool kit that can supplement the Data protection laws. KICTANet has actually developed a Curriculum on Digital Security and Privacy that attempts to create awareness and empower Internet end users with skills that enable them to conduct self assessment. Thank you On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 2:36 PM Alex Watila via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
