Liability for Whatsapp Group Admins?
Listers, This topic is currently trending on social media, after the NCIC announced that they were going after admins of certain WhatsApp groups that are spreading hate speech. Here is the presser http://bit.ly/2uqeqAK Regards,
I wonder if screenshots of WhatsApp and Telegram (end to end encrypted messaging apps) can be adduced as evidence according to the Evidence Act... On 17/07/2017, Grace Mutung'u via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Whilst I think the heart is in the right place I'm yet to see one successful prosecution by the NCIC of politicians who spew hatred everyday in public. This is a red herring. For them to earn goodwill from Kenyans let them start with what is most common obvious first.

This siege being barrackaded against use of social media during elections is simply one step away from a total internet shutdown (which shall be justified) They are inadvertently stirring up the hornets nest On Jul 17, 2017 14:09, "Ali Hussein via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Personally, think this is just activity, and not really progress. I think it's pretty clear to everyone that the problem is politicians and their utterances before and behind cameras. Zero action on that. On Mon, Jul 17, 2017 at 1:42 PM, Grace Mutung'u via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
