[kictanet] Day 2: On-line debate on African Union Convention on Cyber Security (AUCC)

[Grace Githaiga]

Thanks to everyone who has spoken today including the CS,
Walu, Ali, Gakuru, Gideon and Waudo.


@ Ali, thanks for sharing the
useful resource.  Will include it the
references section in our final document. 


@Walu, I agree with you
entirely! This is the time to contribute and shape the AUCC. Truly we should
not complain when given the opportunity unless our views are ignored. This is
an sign that we need a framework that allows stakeholders contributions to be
reflected in the final outcome.  


@Gideon, thanks
for sharing your analysis. Your suggestion on the need for state prerogatives to be well
defined so as not to breach the rights of a private life online or offline is
noted. Further, the selection of an all inclusive and not necessarily government
Protection Authority is a good input. 


@Waudo, the
National Communication Secretariat has not been disbanded, maybe just quiet. Perhaps
we should be inquire its role in policy formulation.


@Gakuru, thanks
for the article. You raise an important point: Is
the intent to protect Africans data from external violations of privacy among
other fundamental rights? A point to think about. 

Listers, please feel free to go back to any day of the week
and raise the issue(s) that you may have.

True that. But how many of us actually read the fine print? Of course you,would say that the onus is on us to read...:)

'Buyers who bought this item also bought these items' and a list of recommended items similar to what you bought appears under your shopping cart. How would we categories this? Some may say that this is smart coming from Amazon. Some may consider it spooky and border line privacy issues. The point I'm making is that I don't want some 'Smart Alec' government functionary deciding for me what I should see or not see online (or off line for that matter). That is a personal choice and of course we have plenty of tools to stop some of these 'intrusive' online practices.


I feel you Ali, But Amazon can claim that their business intelligence is in their terms of service
