[kictanet] Waiguru sues Google, Kenyan website for defamation

[cdohnio]

This case will have huge implications for the start up community in
defining the limits of 3rd party liability in Kenya.

I personally fall on the side of severely limiting such liability as a
company can't be expected to police it's users. I think though if it is
proven to have been defamation Google is obligated to pull the blog down if
it's owner refuses to pull the articles down

She now wants the global search engine held liable for allegedly defamatory
article alongside Daily Post, which authored it.
