Thank you Carolyne for highlighting content that needs regulation. I note that this is content that affects the rights of others. Would you please shed some light on filtering mechanisms and why government efforts fail?

Content regulation is the creation, setting and enforcement of parameters within which various stakeholders in the content ecosystem engage with this content. Content in this context is then simply information which is transmitted and stored and received through various platforms and infrastructure.

Hello listers,

As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on:

Why content is regulated? - Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm to others) security, human dignity, privacy. -The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etc For online content how different countries/governments are trying to regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

Hello Listers,

Content regulation, is basically content restrictions or monitoring as required by governments or regulatory bodies.

Hi Kanini et al. In my opinion,content regulation is healthy for any society. It aids in reducing moral decadence that could be brought about with the unregulated space. However, is content filtering sufficient in ensuring that only the correct content is viewed especially with freely availed WiFi at many locations even though parents try to utilize Parental Control Software at home, Imagine situations where some access pornography at places of worship!! Is filtering access at public spaces also the way to go? On Tue, Jul 10, 2018 at 12:18 PM, kanini mutemi via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Hi all, I believe the issue of morality is a difficult one to agree upon. What could be immoral to one person could be perfectly okay with another. So where do we draw the line and whose moral compass will we base the regulations on?

@Cecilia I echo your questions. The issue of morality was introduced above as a reason why content regulation is important. I note that we have never quite agreed on the issue of morality on this list.

How do you then balance the freedom of opinion and expression with the need to control what people produce and consume?

Is there perhaps a test we can apply when determining whether content regulation is a desired approach?

Hi all,

I believe the issue of morality is a difficult one to agree upon. What could be immoral to one person could be perfectly okay with another. So where do we draw the line and whose moral compass will we base the regulations on?

Hi Kanini et al. In my opinion,content regulation is healthy for any society. It aids in reducing moral decadence that could be brought about with the unregulated space. However, is content filtering sufficient in ensuring that only the correct content is viewed especially with freely availed WiFi at many locations even though parents try to utilize Parental Control Software at home, Imagine situations where some access pornography at places of worship!! Is filtering access at public spaces also the way to go?

Hello listers,

As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on:

Why content is regulated? - Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm to others) security, human dignity, privacy. -The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etc For online content how different countries/governments are trying to regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

Kind regards Carolyne

@ Jefferson, Good points. It is actually cool nowadays to speak against morality because of its relativity. My humble request to you would be for you to look at the issue in light of the Matatu Industry in Nairobi that was asked to self regulate. Is this the best approach, going forwad it would be good for this conversation to be guided by some evidence based research. I am not sure its right to say Children are a minority and should be treated as such when the government is distributing millions of digital devices to our primary schools. The Universal Access Fund is also being used to connect schools to the Internet which will also expose more children to the Internet.

​On morality, we should recognize that children are a relatively small consumer segment of Internet content as ​compared to adults. It is helpful to consider whether the target audience is a community of shared values or a market. In my personal view, we are increasingly just a market with different sub-segments, a minority of whom require protection as opposed to a community of shared values. Furthermore, it is important to ensure content regulation does not institutionalize political correctness. The clamor for safe spaces is injurious in its attempts to muzzle any content which violates individual taste or beliefs. As a result, maybe a common sense approach in self-regulation is better. For example, would i be embarrassed if this content reaches my grandmother?

@Barrack, I agree with you on the need for evidence-based approaches to policy discussions. However, a behavioral approach would be more effective in promoting compliance. While Obama was selling entrepreneurship as a solution to our problems, he invested heavily in behavioral-based policy solutions to social problems in the United States, http://time.com/4042689/social-behavioral-sciences-team/ Anyway, that is an aside. Its not that its cool to speak against morality, its just that one person's anti-gay rights for instance, is another person's oppressor on identity etc..... My would my grandmother be embarrassed if she reads, sees or hears this test is more universal. I don't think those devices have unlimited access to content outside the approved ones, but i could be wrong. On the matatu industry example, well, true, any industry doesn't have an incentive to rush self-regulation, but who says the regulators have the omniscient knowledge and benevolence to enact the right, well-intentioned and durable regulations?

@ Jefferson,

Good points. It is actually cool nowadays to speak against morality because of its relativity. My humble request to you would be for you to look at the issue in light of the Matatu Industry in Nairobi that was asked to self regulate. Is this the best approach, going forwad it would be good for this conversation to be guided by some evidence based research. I am not sure its right to say Children are a minority and should be treated as such when the government is distributing millions of digital devices to our primary schools. The Universal Access Fund is also being used to connect schools to the Internet which will also expose more children to the Internet.

Regards

​On morality, we should recognize that children are a relatively small consumer segment of Internet content as ​compared to adults. It is helpful to consider whether the target audience is a community of shared values or a market. In my personal view, we are increasingly just a market with different sub-segments, a minority of whom require protection as opposed to a community of shared values. Furthermore, it is important to ensure content regulation does not institutionalize political correctness. The clamor for safe spaces is injurious in its attempts to muzzle any content which violates individual taste or beliefs. As a result, maybe a common sense approach in self-regulation is better. For example, would i be embarrassed if this content reaches my grandmother?

We should also consider the role of the media type on the content regulation adopted. For instance, should visual, audio and written content be subjected to the same standard or different ones.

Two concepts that have dominated recent debates at least on this list are paternalism (decision makers taking away the power of the public to make choices) and agreed norms in the society. For example, a public authority basing decisions on the notion that "western" values are bad for Kenyan society and therefore removing/restricting some content from the public domain. Defining what our collective values, which would guide how far authorities can regulate content is often a pull between generations, classes, rural versus urban folk and religious inclinations. It would help if spaces where most content is viewed promoted content that is generally closer to agreed values in our society. For example, at one point the issue was absence of local content. Through many initiatives and policies such as local websites for government offices and use of technology for public relations, we are now seeing more local content. It is therefore baffling that instead of nurturing this trend, authorities would attempt to curtail it by introducing taxes and other regulatory controls.

Hi all,

I believe the issue of morality is a difficult one to agree upon. What could be immoral to one person could be perfectly okay with another. So where do we draw the line and whose moral compass will we base the regulations on?

Good points @ Jefferson, The subject is wide and requires a variety of stakeholders on the table to that will agree to disagree on what we refer to as norms or guidelines that are not subjective policy and regulation doesn't develop itself neither can it operate on autopilot. We need to identify the righ stakeholders and ensure that they are all involved in developement and implementation of the Policy. Policy Interventions should be by the people and for the people.

@Barrack, I agree with you on the need for evidence-based approaches to policy discussions. However, a behavioral approach would be more effective in promoting compliance. While Obama was selling entrepreneurship as a solution to our problems, he invested heavily in behavioral-based policy solutions to social problems in the United States, http://time.com/ 4042689/social-behavioral-sciences-team/ Anyway, that is an aside.

Its not that its cool to speak against morality, its just that one person's anti-gay rights for instance, is another person's oppressor on identity etc.....

My would my grandmother be embarrassed if she reads, sees or hears this test is more universal.

I don't think those devices have unlimited access to content outside the approved ones, but i could be wrong.

On the matatu industry example, well, true, any industry doesn't have an incentive to rush self-regulation, but who says the regulators have the omniscient knowledge and benevolence to enact the right, well-intentioned and durable regulations?

As regards to the question of morality, the only way out is to be pluralistic, reflecting the diversity of the culture in which (we and the others) operate and give access to various points of view and right to reply. Thus, in the process of socialization, they teach us social norms and values, and help us learn what’s expected of us including how we are supposed to think, act and look thus, they participate in our socialization.

@ Jefferson,

Good points. It is actually cool nowadays to speak against morality because of its relativity. My humble request to you would be for you to look at the issue in light of the Matatu Industry in Nairobi that was asked to self regulate. Is this the best approach, going forwad it would be good for this conversation to be guided by some evidence based research. I am not sure its right to say Children are a minority and should be treated as such when the government is distributing millions of digital devices to our primary schools. The Universal Access Fund is also being used to connect schools to the Internet which will also expose more children to the Internet.

Regards

​On morality, we should recognize that children are a relatively small consumer segment of Internet content as ​compared to adults. It is helpful to consider whether the target audience is a community of shared values or a market. In my personal view, we are increasingly just a market with different sub-segments, a minority of whom require protection as opposed to a community of shared values. Furthermore, it is important to ensure content regulation does not institutionalize political correctness. The clamor for safe spaces is injurious in its attempts to muzzle any content which violates individual taste or beliefs. As a result, maybe a common sense approach in self-regulation is better. For example, would i be embarrassed if this content reaches my grandmother?

We should also consider the role of the media type on the content regulation adopted. For instance, should visual, audio and written content be subjected to the same standard or different ones.

Two concepts that have dominated recent debates at least on this list are paternalism (decision makers taking away the power of the public to make choices) and agreed norms in the society. For example, a public authority basing decisions on the notion that "western" values are bad for Kenyan society and therefore removing/restricting some content from the public domain. Defining what our collective values, which would guide how far authorities can regulate content is often a pull between generations, classes, rural versus urban folk and religious inclinations. It would help if spaces where most content is viewed promoted content that is generally closer to agreed values in our society. For example, at one point the issue was absence of local content. Through many initiatives and policies such as local websites for government offices and use of technology for public relations, we are now seeing more local content. It is therefore baffling that instead of nurturing this trend, authorities would attempt to curtail it by introducing taxes and other regulatory controls.

Hi Kanini et al. In my opinion,content regulation is healthy for any society. It aids in reducing moral decadence that could be brought about with the unregulated space.

Hello listers,

As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on:

Why content is regulated? - Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm to others) security, human dignity, privacy. -The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etc For online content how different countries/governments are trying to regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

Kind regards Carolyne

Content regulation, is basically content restrictions or monitoring as required by governments or regulatory bodies.

I’ll start us off with the discussion on Content Regulation on the internet. I find it useful for us to first understand what content regulation means. To this end, I invite your contributions to the following questions–

(a) What does '*content regulation**’* mean?

(b) How is content regulation achieved?

(c) What categories of content face the most regulation?

@ Mildred, Governor Sonko recently asked Nairobi Matatus to self Regulate, months down the line, the results are there for all of us to see. In the absence of a National Value Framework, which was a critical component of Vision 2030 (Not Sure if the Secretariat still exists), its every man or woman for himself.

Hello listers

I have two questions 1. Where do you draw the line between content regulation and freedom of expression?

2. Where do you draw the line between content regulation and net neutrality?

Hi Kanini et al. In my opinion,content regulation is healthy for any society. It aids in reducing moral decadence that could be brought about with the unregulated space. However, is content filtering sufficient in ensuring that only the correct content is viewed especially with freely availed WiFi at many locations even though parents try to utilize Parental Control Software at home, Imagine situations where some access pornography at places of worship!! Is filtering access at public spaces also the way to go?

Hello listers,

As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on:

Why content is regulated? - Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm to others) security, human dignity, privacy. -The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etc For online content how different countries/governments are trying to regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

An interesting and positive view on the document. One of the reasons why online content is so hard to regulate is: -There is almost always a way around it. -The internet is global yet governance isn't -Human rights on free speech are subjective -Tech is always evolving, its too broad and almost all of it is online.Innovation leads to loopholes. But that said, i believe the first step is having basic policies that protect users while still maximizing the opportunities that online content provides.

Hello Listers, Thank you @carolyne Why online content shouldn't be regulated? Human rights principles and standards also apply to content regulation. Freedom of expression (FoE) protected by Article 19 and the UN declaration of Human rights states that offline rights apply equally online.  Under which circumstance should online content be regulated? Any restrictions placed on the exercise of the right to FoE must be legal, necessary, proportionate and legitimate.,(  Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech causing harm to others, security, human dignity, privacy.) and even so the restrictions placed must not undermine or jeopardise the essence of that basic human right.  On Tuesday, July 10, 2018, 10:28:01 AM GMT+3, carolyne mimano via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Hello listers, As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on: Why content is regulated?- Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm to others) security, human dignity, privacy.-The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etcFor online content how different countries/governments are trying to regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

Hello Listers,

Thank you @carolyne

Why online content shouldn't be regulated?

Human rights principles and standards also apply to content regulation. Freedom of expression (FoE) protected by Article 19 and the UN declaration of Human rights states that offline rights apply equally online.

Under which circumstance should online content be regulated?

Any restrictions placed on the exercise of the right to FoE must be legal, necessary, proportionate and legitimate.,( Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech causing harm to others, security, human dignity, privacy.) and even so the restrictions placed must not undermine or jeopardise the essence of that basic human right.

Hi Victor & team, I agree that defining what should be restricted is tough but the government does need basic regulation that can be enforced. Restricting access to pornography for children should actually be the easiest part.The hard part is regulating and defining issues such as hate speech and racism, cybercrime, privacy and spying considering at that point we are dealing with smart intellectuals. Social media platforms highly rely on community policing which helps to a certain level depending on the community. See below a link on how different governments are trying to manage content: www.isoc.org/inet97/proceedings/B1/B1_3.HTM Regards On Tue, 10 Jul 2018, 6:45 pm Victor Kapiyo via kictanet, < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Content regulation unlike mathematics, cannot be applied so precisely and accurately as we do with our formulas. I think that sole efforts by governments to regulate usually end up being seen or become in actual fact censorship. We all do not have the same values or culture, and therefore, the big brother state will always find it difficult to regulate content in an environment where there is no similar appreciation of values or culture.

In which case therefore, it is important for government to adopt a multiskakeholder approach and work closely with all the players including users, recognising their various roles. They can work with academia to define unlawful content e.g. child pornography; train law enforcement on ways of detecting, investigating and prosecuting case on such content; and work with ISPs and other internet intermediaries to provide tools to detect such content on their platforms, provide users with tools to report or block such content and, also educate users on the same. Simply making content a,b or c an offence is not enough in my view.

I think the internet and all the various platforms that have been built on top of it have done so much for freedom. The fact that anyone can now become a content producer and that anyone can have an audience. The internet has helped push the boundaries of creativity... challenge morality... challenge cultures... My greatest fear wouldn't be to regulate consumption - that has always failed... (when we were kids pre-internet days there was always ways to beat regulation with porn flicks and magazines. They were so pervasive that they found their way into even mission schools) - okay moving away from this sex and morality obsession. My fear would be the pervasiveness of content that no longer challenges the thought process... content that does not encourage research or reading or the seeking of answers. The pervasiveness of content that holds simplistic views of the world. In answer to my own fears I would not urge that such content is removed, censored or charged fees for being on the internet - no my answer would be to produce thought provoking content and compete with "shallow" content. - Counter Content In answer to my own fears I would promote the whole development of the person in school - think curriculum reforms... I would want to create young people who can think... young people who have learnt how to learn.... how to see truth and facts. - "Consumer Development" So I would encourage proponents of censorship to instead become sponsors of counter content. If you have strict moral beliefs... create content that encourage the practice of such a code of morality... share this content and make it pervasive... if there is fake news - counter it with investigative and in depth truth. The truth has to find ways to move as fast as the fake... The internet is the platform where this has to happen - "Counter Pervasiveness" Of course there is the thing with economics - we have to make it pay to produce truth... we have to make depth rank better than mediocrity. If decadence sells it is because our society and our economy is built on decadence. (a) What does '*content regulation**’* mean? I would define this as any control that is imposed on content that does not come from the producer or the consumer of the content that would prevent production or consumption of such content. Forms include platform control, parental control, government control methods could include | fees e.g. reading research material on JSTOR, taxes and social media access fees | outright viewing bans such as what is done by KFCB in Kenya | The ability of platforms to take down reported content - compare Facebook and Reddit... Reddit is close to anarchy but really that is what the internet was made for... (b) How is content regulation achieved? I think regulation isn't achieved only by banning... making costs of production prohibitive or punitive is regulation enough. Case in point what Uganda and Tanzania are doing in terms of social media access fees or blogging tax. The internet was designed for freedom and openness - any financial charge to access or create content is a way of regulation and in some cases suppression. (c) What categories of content face the most regulation? I feel that Video and Film face the most regulation... it is so difficult to be a producer of these in Kenya... aside from the possibility of bans even the access to support to screen...to shoot.... to fund a production is an uphill task. So instead of regulating films like Wanuri Kahiu's Rafiki - I would have it screened in class and ask students to discuss. (Remember Consumer Development) Also it is counterproductive to ban screening of Kenyan producers films i.e. regulate content produced within our country while if I walk to Moi Avenue right now I can buy several seasons of the American production L - Word and I can get several seasons of BBCs Lip Service.. If I am looking for deeper stories instead of just mainstream lesbian stories I can access content from film Producers in Canada such as Patricia Rozema. I think Wanuri's short film would rank even higher on depth than the examples I have mentioned. So anyway based on my earlier proposal on using "Counter Content" and "Counter Pervasiveness" and "Consumer Development" we are doing ourselves dis-favor by banning our own locally produced works... banning our own stories... while being inundated by content that doesn't tell our truth... our reality.

Hi Listers,

(b) How is content regulation achieved?

Through intermediary liability laws. These laws generally require platforms to remove content in at least some circumstances, with obligations usually triggered when the platform learns about illegal material. Platforms operate notice and take-down programs as a way both to comply with such laws and to enforce their own discretionary content policies.

(c) What categories of content face the most regulation?

Internet platforms largely as a result of the mounting public demands for aggressive intervention.

Calls for companies like YouTube and Facebook to fight problems ranging from “fake news” to hate speech to online radicalization seem to make daily headlines even gathering support from the top leadership not just locally but globally i.e British prime minister Theresa May, “Industry needs to go further and faster” in removing prohibited content by developing automated filters to detect and suppress it automatically.”

We sometimes decry the intrusion of platform moderation, and sometimes decry its absence.

Dear John Paul, Thank you so much for highlighting the issues of consumer development and the production of counter content. These two are creative (rather than defensive) ways of dealing with controversial content. And they encourage dialogue plus encourage new players to enter the industry. For example, a whole new subsection focusing on consumer development can be created; groups of filmmakers can brand themselves as counter content creators. Regards, Mildred Achoch.
