[kictanet] Fwd: a question of the communications act

[Collins Areba]

I filled in the form labelled "abuse report" and finally got a response
from google. It however seems they have set me up on an endless if loop,
Please see below the response in brief. The reason for contacting them in
the first place being that the author of the said blog threw stones and is
hiding under the table, only Google knows who it is. KE office is well
aware of the situation, just wondering what role CCK and the court system
play in such a case...

The one issue that bugs me is , who takes responsibility when a web
platform that exists on privacy is used for libel-able issues?
