[kictanet] Wi-Fi users in cafes, matatus face CCTV cameras tracking [feedly]

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

I noticed in many developed countries, users of public WIFI are
required to provide some basic information about themselves using a
captive portal. Whether they provide the correct biodata is another
issue.

I'm not sure we should always water down government attempt to provide
a safe environment for it's citizens.

Why don't we be part of the solution and try to give suggestions on
how to implement proper safeguards, while of-course at the same time
ensuring the important issue of human rights and cost is taken into
consideration.
