Thanks Ali and Kivuva for continuing discussion on this thread.
You both caution on the need to be careful in how intermediary liability is handled in terms legislation lest we restrict innovation. And yes Kivuva. Users are not exactly innocent since they are capable of making the right decisions on what to post. 
Please feel free to continue debate on this same thread.RgdsGG
