Re: [kictanet] Brazilians Locked out of WhatsApp
Happy Ladies Day! A query Could we have a Kenyan WApp (herein all this new digital tools and Apps), so that when time of legal reckoning comes incase anything goes wrong as it sometimes does, then the Kenyan rules apply not USA or Hague which would be out of reach and too complex. Or on the other hand the providers are obligated to have Kenyan guidelines. This may seem to be a very complex deman on face value for the Investors and Kenya may be deemed "not investor friendly legally", however imagine the mess when we have a mass of Kenyans under US laws or other jurisdiction and the cases are due to be handled there. While aware this is how most business do it, this sounds like another route for (business) colonialism. The digital age has opened up many people to legal provisions that they are not even aware of, which they are not capable of handling - financially, intellectually. A greater concern is that we sign up for applications with standard terms and conditions - to which there is no option to opt out from and still enjoy the services. Blessed day.

Suppose you have a company domiciled in US, which sets up an application hosted in servers in Irelend which is then accessed by a user in Kenya through a browser. Suppose GoK wants data the Kenyan user has stored in the servers in Ireland and which, let's assume, has very strict laws on user privacy, how would GoK go about it? Also, technically, when a user accesses an application hosted in a server through a browser, is the application running, as per our example, in Kenya / Ireland?

However, I beg to differ with your conclusion (last paragraph). In reference to the current use case (in Brazil), the issue is how Whatsup (US entity) operates, and is regulated in a foreign territory....and how it should abide by those local/Brazil regulations. It is bound to operate by the local/Brasil rules --- if they have a legal framework in place. I cannot comment about the US & Latin America's compliance and regulations policy, but in the case of US/European entities, there are principles which enable some US companies to comply with privacy laws within those territories (popularly referred as Safe Harbor principles). This also include enforcement (effective means of enforcing these rules).

This statement is a bit under-informed. I am at Facebook now, but I was previously at Yahoo, where I led the business & human rights program,
explicitly focused on ensuring that Yahoo¹s engagement with law
enforcement was governed by human rights principles-the only organization
of its kind. Companies like Yahoo, Facebook, Google subject requests from
US law enforcement to rigorous assessments requiring that those requests are lawful and do not violate human rights. Companies also regularly push
back on US law enforcement requests when the requests are not valid or
over-broad.
This information can be easily gleaned from transparency reports, which all major tech companies publish. Most significantly, Yahoo also took the NSA to court, the only company to ever do so, explicitly because Yahoo refused to hand over user data. While that was the most serious case, in that it was a national security case, tech companies are constantly going to court in the US to preserve users rights to privacy. Now, from a legal perspective, the fact that a company is domiciled in a country, and the fact that the country has legal jurisdiction necessarily, from a legal
That is just a matter of law, in the same way that, say, Safaricom is subject to far greater restrictions in Kenya.

The harshness of the verdict is thus seen as a retaliation to show whois boss.

This is harsh! 2016-03-02 10:25 GMT+03:00 WANGARI KABIRU via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke>:
Happy Ladies Day!
A query
Could we have a Kenyan WApp (herein all this new digital tools and Apps), so that when time of legal reckoning comes incase anything goes wrong as it sometimes does, then the Kenyan rules apply not USA or Hague which would be out of reach and too complex. Or on the other hand the providers are obligated to have Kenyan guidelines.
This may seem to be a very complex deman on face value for the Investors and Kenya may be deemed "not investor friendly legally", however imagine the mess when we have a mass of Kenyans under US laws or other jurisdiction and the cases are due to be handled there. While aware this is how most business do it, this sounds like another route for (business) colonialism. The digital age has opened up many people to legal provisions that they are not even aware of, which they are not capable of handling - financially, intellectually.
A greater concern is that we sign up for applications with standard terms and conditions - to which there is no option to opt out from and still enjoy the services.
Blessed day.

So this story has taken a new dimension. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0W34WF Brazilian police arrested a senior Facebook Inc executive on Tuesday as a dispute escalated over a court's demand that the company provide data from its WhatsApp messaging service to help in a secretive drug-trafficking investigation. Court officials in Sergipe state confirmed that a judge had ordered the jailing of Facebook Vice President for Latin America Diego Dzodan. Federal police in Sao Paulo state said he was being held there for questioning. On Dec 18, 2015 3:53 AM, "Lawrence Njogu via kictanet" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

The Safe Harbor principles cover your use case, other very complicated ones. They provide guidance and decisions on the adequacy of the protection of personal data when it is transferred to other countries Google uses very complex methods of data storage and security including obfuscation methods i.e they do not keep all of your files in one place but splits them up and stores them on multiple files on several machines in different locations & territories. That is why it is important to have renewed and sound framework for transatlantic data flows. Since technology trends are always ahead of the curve, it is our mandate to help our regulators and governments to come up with policies and framework that protect our interests.

Lawrence, I think is a bit deeper if you scratch the surface a little... Suppose you have a company domiciled in US, which sets up an application hosted in servers in Irelend which is then accessed by a user in Kenya through a browser. Suppose GoK wants data the Kenyan user has stored in the servers in Ireland and which, let's assume, has very strict laws on user privacy, how would GoK go about it?
Also, technically, when a user accesses an application hosted in a server through a browser, is the application running, as per our example, in Kenya / Ireland?

Ebele,I totally agree with you on your first 2 paragraphs. However, I beg to differ with your conclusion (last paragraph). In reference to the current use case (in Brazil), the issue is how Whatsup (US entity) operates, and is regulated in a foreign territory....and how it should abide by those local/Brazil regulations. It is bound to operate by the local/Brasil rules --- if they have a legal framework in place. I cannot comment about the US & Latin America's compliance and regulations policy, but in the case of US/European entities, there are principles which enable some US companies to comply with privacy laws within those territories (popularly referred as Safe Harbor principles). This also include enforcement (effective means of enforcing these rules).

This statement is a bit under-informed. I am at Facebook now, but I was previously at Yahoo, where I led the business & human rights program,
explicitly focused on ensuring that Yahoo¹s engagement with law
enforcement was governed by human rights principles-the only organization
of its kind. Companies like Yahoo, Facebook, Google subject requests from
US law enforcement to rigorous assessments requiring that those requests are lawful and do not violate human rights. Companies also regularly push
back on US law enforcement requests when the requests are not valid or
over-broad.
This information can be easily gleaned from transparency reports, which all major tech companies publish. Most significantly, Yahoo also took the NSA to court, the only company to ever do so, explicitly because Yahoo refused to hand over user data. While that was the most serious case, in that it was a national security case, tech companies are constantly going to court in the US to preserve users rights to privacy. Now, from a legal perspective, the fact that a company is domiciled in a country, and the fact that the country has legal jurisdiction necessarily, from a legal
That is just a matter of law, in the same way that, say, Safaricom is subject to far greater restrictions in Kenya.

A query
Could we have a Kenyan WApp (herein all this new digital tools and Apps), so that when time of legal reckoning comes incase anything goes wrong as it sometimes does, then the Kenyan rules apply not USA or Hague which would be out of reach and too complex. Or on the other hand the providers are obligated to have Kenyan guidelines.
This may seem to be a very complex deman on face value for the Investors and Kenya may be deemed "not investor friendly legally", however imagine the mess when we have a mass of Kenyans under US laws or other jurisdiction and the cases are due to be handled there. While aware this is how most business do it, this sounds like another route for (business) colonialism. The digital age has opened up many people to legal provisions that they are not even aware of, which they are not capable of handling - financially, intellectually.
A greater concern is that we sign up for applications with standard terms and conditions - to which there is no option to opt out from and still enjoy the services.
Blessed day.

So this story has taken a new dimension. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0W34WF Brazilian police arrested a senior Facebook Inc executive on Tuesday as a dispute escalated over a court's demand that the company provide data from its WhatsApp messaging service to help in a secretive drug-trafficking investigation. Court officials in Sergipe state confirmed that a judge had ordered the jailing of Facebook Vice President for Latin America Diego Dzodan. Federal police in Sao Paulo state said he was being held there for questioning. On Dec 18, 2015 3:53 AM, "Lawrence Njogu via kictanet" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

The Safe Harbor principles cover your use case, other very complicated ones. They provide guidance and decisions on the adequacy of the protection of personal data when it is transferred to other countries Google uses very complex methods of data storage and security including obfuscation methods i.e they do not keep all of your files in one place but splits them up and stores them on multiple files on several machines in different locations & territories. That is why it is important to have renewed and sound framework for transatlantic data flows. Since technology trends are always ahead of the curve, it is our mandate to help our regulators and governments to come up with policies and framework that protect our interests.

Lawrence, I think is a bit deeper if you scratch the surface a little... Suppose you have a company domiciled in US, which sets up an application hosted in servers in Irelend which is then accessed by a user in Kenya through a browser. Suppose GoK wants data the Kenyan user has stored in the servers in Ireland and which, let's assume, has very strict laws on user privacy, how would GoK go about it?
Also, technically, when a user accesses an application hosted in a server through a browser, is the application running, as per our example, in Kenya / Ireland?

Ebele,I totally agree with you on your first 2 paragraphs. However, I beg to differ with your conclusion (last paragraph). In reference to the current use case (in Brazil), the issue is how Whatsup (US entity) operates, and is regulated in a foreign territory....and how it should abide by those local/Brazil regulations. It is bound to operate by the local/Brasil rules --- if they have a legal framework in place. I cannot comment about the US & Latin America's compliance and regulations policy, but in the case of US/European entities, there are principles which enable some US companies to comply with privacy laws within those territories (popularly referred as Safe Harbor principles). This also include enforcement (effective means of enforcing these rules).

This statement is a bit under-informed. I am at Facebook now, but I was previously at Yahoo, where I led the business & human rights program,
explicitly focused on ensuring that Yahoo¹s engagement with law
enforcement was governed by human rights principles-the only organization
of its kind. Companies like Yahoo, Facebook, Google subject requests from
US law enforcement to rigorous assessments requiring that those requests are lawful and do not violate human rights. Companies also regularly push
back on US law enforcement requests when the requests are not valid or
over-broad.
This information can be easily gleaned from transparency reports, which all major tech companies publish. Most significantly, Yahoo also took the NSA to court, the only company to ever do so, explicitly because Yahoo refused to hand over user data. While that was the most serious case, in that it was a national security case, tech companies are constantly going to court in the US to preserve users rights to privacy. Now, from a legal perspective, the fact that a company is domiciled in a country, and the fact that the country has legal jurisdiction necessarily, from a legal
That is just a matter of law, in the same way that, say, Safaricom is subject to far greater restrictions in Kenya.

A query
Could we have a Kenyan WApp (herein all this new digital tools and Apps), so that when time of legal reckoning comes incase anything goes wrong as it sometimes does, then the Kenyan rules apply not USA or Hague which would be out of reach and too complex. Or on the other hand the providers are obligated to have Kenyan guidelines.
This may seem to be a very complex deman on face value for the Investors and Kenya may be deemed "not investor friendly legally", however imagine the mess when we have a mass of Kenyans under US laws or other jurisdiction and the cases are due to be handled there. While aware this is how most business do it, this sounds like another route for (business) colonialism. The digital age has opened up many people to legal provisions that they are not even aware of, which they are not capable of handling - financially, intellectually.
A greater concern is that we sign up for applications with standard terms and conditions - to which there is no option to opt out from and still enjoy the services.
Blessed day.

So this story has taken a new dimension. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0W34WF Brazilian police arrested a senior Facebook Inc executive on Tuesday as a dispute escalated over a court's demand that the company provide data from its WhatsApp messaging service to help in a secretive drug-trafficking investigation. Court officials in Sergipe state confirmed that a judge had ordered the jailing of Facebook Vice President for Latin America Diego Dzodan. Federal police in Sao Paulo state said he was being held there for questioning. On Dec 18, 2015 3:53 AM, "Lawrence Njogu via kictanet" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

The Safe Harbor principles cover your use case, other very complicated ones. They provide guidance and decisions on the adequacy of the protection of personal data when it is transferred to other countries Google uses very complex methods of data storage and security including obfuscation methods i.e they do not keep all of your files in one place but splits them up and stores them on multiple files on several machines in different locations & territories. That is why it is important to have renewed and sound framework for transatlantic data flows. Since technology trends are always ahead of the curve, it is our mandate to help our regulators and governments to come up with policies and framework that protect our interests.

Lawrence, I think is a bit deeper if you scratch the surface a little... Suppose you have a company domiciled in US, which sets up an application hosted in servers in Irelend which is then accessed by a user in Kenya through a browser. Suppose GoK wants data the Kenyan user has stored in the servers in Ireland and which, let's assume, has very strict laws on user privacy, how would GoK go about it?
Also, technically, when a user accesses an application hosted in a server through a browser, is the application running, as per our example, in Kenya / Ireland?

Ebele,I totally agree with you on your first 2 paragraphs. However, I beg to differ with your conclusion (last paragraph). In reference to the current use case (in Brazil), the issue is how Whatsup (US entity) operates, and is regulated in a foreign territory....and how it should abide by those local/Brazil regulations. It is bound to operate by the local/Brasil rules --- if they have a legal framework in place. I cannot comment about the US & Latin America's compliance and regulations policy, but in the case of US/European entities, there are principles which enable some US companies to comply with privacy laws within those territories (popularly referred as Safe Harbor principles). This also include enforcement (effective means of enforcing these rules).

This statement is a bit under-informed. I am at Facebook now, but I was previously at Yahoo, where I led the business & human rights program,
explicitly focused on ensuring that Yahoo¹s engagement with law
enforcement was governed by human rights principles-the only organization
of its kind. Companies like Yahoo, Facebook, Google subject requests from
US law enforcement to rigorous assessments requiring that those requests are lawful and do not violate human rights. Companies also regularly push
back on US law enforcement requests when the requests are not valid or
over-broad.
This information can be easily gleaned from transparency reports, which all major tech companies publish. Most significantly, Yahoo also took the NSA to court, the only company to ever do so, explicitly because Yahoo refused to hand over user data. While that was the most serious case, in that it was a national security case, tech companies are constantly going to court in the US to preserve users rights to privacy. Now, from a legal perspective, the fact that a company is domiciled in a country, and the fact that the country has legal jurisdiction necessarily, from a legal
That is just a matter of law, in the same way that, say, Safaricom is subject to far greater restrictions in Kenya.
