[kictanet] Google loses round one of court battle with Waiguru

Wed Dec 10 16:14:57 EAT 2014

There should be a policy on when intermediaries can honour requests for
disclosure etc. Otherwise, we shall see more of such cases in our courts.
Relatedly, there are some posts purportedly unveiling the owner/editor of
the Daily Post, pictures, address and all attached.
Interesting times we live in!
