[kictanet] Shooting the messenger?

Mon Oct 15 17:53:03 EAT 2012

While the responsibility should be to all parties i believe that the host carries more of the responsibility- if you host a thief in your house knowingly or otherwise, you are culpable and the thief is already a thief anyway. In this era of volatile reactions to almost anything- i wonder what was going in the mind of the producer as he produced it- they must have had a notion about the kind of reaction that this would have elicited especially to the fundamentalists, i believe. My lay point of view.

Thanks Jane. Yes the discussions during the face to face meeting were such an eye opener. Your comments have been noted. 

Listers, do you agree with Jane that some level of responsibility should be placed on the person/institution that is the source of the content?

Thanks Grace
The breakfast Discussion were very fruitful and we need to keep the discussion going. There is need to put some level of responsibility to the person or institution that is the  source of the content. Some will send out content for monetary gains and otherwise. The society must have mechanisms of shaping itself up at all levels

Good morning Listers

I hope your week is starting well.

Last week, we held a f2f breakfast meeting to discuss intermediary liability in Kenya. As promised by Alice, we would like to continue with this discussion for this week. 

As Kenya prepares for elections next
year, and with all the political alignments taking place, we are likely to see
intermediaries being blamed for carrying utterances of our politicians. The
media has been blamed many times by politicians for ‘misquoting’ them yet in
many instances there is video footage to confirm that the politicians did
indeed say certain things. 

For those
who watched the youtube video that ridiculed Prophet Muhammad and resulted in
the killing of Christopher Stephens, the US ambassador to Libya and three
American members of his staff by angry protesters (or lynch mob as some people called them), who would you say was wrong or  where would you place the
responsibility for this eventuality? Would you say it is the video producers or or youtube or who?

Lets hear it from you listers.

A wonderful week to all of you.
