Wamaitha, No. The service is not compliant becase the law specifically
classifies content that all of us should not access. Some Content that is
acceptable by US standards is not acceptable by Kenyan standards.

Interested to see how this plays out.

Netflix would simply ask KFCB to give them a list of content to block, and
you would not be able to access that content using a Kenyan account. This
is where VPN services rake in the money.
