[kictanet] Digital privacy discussions: Day one,

[Liz Orembo]

Dear listers,

Today we begin our online discussions on digital privacy.

By electing a government, we give it a responsibility to protect our
security and in the course of that, they make policies by which our data is
collected and used.


Nanjira had shared a CIGI-IPSOS research (here
<http://ipsos-na.com/news-polls/pressrelease.aspx?id=7159>) on digital
security and trust done early this year which found out that:

   - 75% of Kenyans law enforcement agencies should have a right to access
   the content of their citizens’ online communications for valid national
   security reasons
   - 66% agreed that tech companies should not build technologies that
   prevent the law enforcement agencies from accessing the content of their
   communication.



   1.

   Are ‘National security’ and ‘terrorism’ being used as a means to justify
   government breaches of security?
   2. Is data collection proportionate and justified? And how secure are
   our government's’ information systems from other parties
   3. How can the tech industry work with the government on security while
   ensuring people's right to privacy are not infringed?
   4. What are your concerns on government collection of data and
   surveillance?



Karibuni.
