Every law has specific mischief it seeks to regulate. In this case, the mischief is definitely blogs such as Cyprian Nyakundi, Tuko.co.ke, Ghafla and other social media platforms that attack the elites regularly. They have grown uncomfortable and wish to protect themselves at the expense of innovators. They forget that libel laws are sufficient to protect against the blogs publishing inaccurate information. That being said I believe the social media space is currently in a state of nature and requires regulation on entry, conduct, supervision, and inspection to strengthen its potential to contribute to development.
