Watu wa “ngwati” be very afraid…
The essence of the internet is that it is free …it starts as blocking adult content , then they will say terrorism related material , then "anti government " etc etc before you know it Twitter will be blocked for national security purposes eg in Thailand
We are going down a slipery slope Wangusi hear is testing the waters to see how far he can …porn is always a low lying fruit…no one can admit he watches it publicly and if it for protecting our children kudos …good work …but then once you give an inch they will take a mile
@admin take not @webdev and @highschooler my tech people how can this be done …do we have only one gateway…
Watu wa torrents they will come for you next
The threat to freedom of expression is very real …you have alm seen the numerous law suits against alai and nyakundi on charges of “causing personal annoyance by a telecom channel” laugh now but this it the biggest threat to democracy as we know it …by next year it will be impossible to criticize anyone in a position of authority…look at what the Good Governor of Machakos has worked his county folks against discussing him on whatssup

The time is now rise up on your social media and fight against this stupid laws…your tweets count …you may hate Alai but tommorow Safaricom will be taking you to court against something you said about Bob
but i agree with you @msalame grace . This is turning into a dictatorship. Its most visible signature is censorship of communication.
I saw this shit becoming real when that student was jailed for saying something quite moderate. During Kibaki’s time nobody would have bothered.
I also expect that the government will want to stay in power for the next term by any means. probably a plan for the next few decades.
People should ask themselves. Why is the government concerned with jailing people who say offensive things(quite a minor offense) than any other people. But when the leader of opposition, and a very significant opposition for that matter, is threatened with jail, be sure somethings cooking.
I would also like to advise people. Dont mention names!!! Talk shit but dont mention names!!!
If you ever listened to politicians and lawyers, they dont mention names at all. The thing is that the libel and defamation suits require a name to have been mentioned.
ndio unaskianga mtu wa nusu mikate na watu wa mashamba.
@admin should give an oath here that he/she would never divulge user info to the authorities…YES…if you think you can hide behind a fancy username name and fake gmail address…and now you anonymous…WELL you are being NAIVE …you will be tracked down to the exact phone model you are using and 100 meters of your exact location…and all other devices you used to access this site…
so @admin Uko na homework Hapa
And if you are also ignorant about technology. Your pseudonym here is a very thin veil. The police can have you in the cooler by tomorrow if they wanted. @admin can hardly protect himself so he isnt a very good fallback.
Social media made it possible for people to revolt against the strong men of Africa Ben Ali of Tunisia, The Mubaraks of Egypt ,Ghadaffi of Libya …the bring down the fees protests in SA…black lives matter in US …all this made possible because of social media…our local example is the Guru of devolution(do you think she would hv quit I’d it was not for the sustained pressure )and now Eurobond is on the news everyday bacause of Social Media…everyone knows it’s power and what destruction it can do
If they can get hold of social media and television broadcasters, be sure its a dictatorship. Those two are a stumbling block to an indefinite hold on power.
@admin is powerless…Cyber crime bill passed in 2014

And the example will not be a wealthy politician it will be a mwananchi wa kawaida …thut guy wadi was wa test case when we didn’t complain Sasa imekuwa ni kawaida
There is a thin line between excising one’s freedom of expression and slandering, that is the line that should be taken care by legislation. We can not allow our cyber space to be a ‘wild wild west’ where by your business adversary or whoever throws a few cents at the so called big wig scums (nyakundis and alais) and then they post a false wild alarmist allegations on your business and before you know it KOT in their classic herd mentality take it up retweet and tweet about it, it trends, and as they say if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth, ultimately your business suffers an irrecoverable damage. This should not be allowed to happen.
