[kictanet] To be or not to be a pseudonymous blogger

[Wangari Kabiru]

Happy Tuesday!

You'd need to go back to the Daniel Steel's who author with Pet names too.

Anyway, I view the focus here is insecurity complicated or magnified by the sophistications cyber carries which is an amorphous world that keeps metamorphosing every moment.

It is not about bloggers, because now we shall have more press releases and vitriol online. It would broadly be a cyber issue. 

Yes, there is genuine concern when the person in a 'cyber house' is unknown and keeps 'throwing trash or running project x parties' into the neighborhood yet nobody is able to account for this 'jirani'. Supposedly there is a 'residence owner of the portal' who cannot reveal the resident as it will infringe on the rights etc etc.

I think we are just hoodwinking ourselves.
If financial transactions are monitored with info-sharing freely without the account holders consent, human movements by cctvs all over without your consent, etc. What makes cyber exist out of this?

My take is that firstly, the need to organise the basics of cyber world or rather make use of them.

Secondly, governments MUST rise above being catch up. Discover newer crimes that may arise even before the 'criminals' create them, discover newer human rights abuses even before 'abusers' create them. Catch the gamers ahead of their time.

Blessed day.

According to the CS these anonymous bloggers are a threat to cyber security. Even if the law was formulated towards this as the CS asserted, what does this mean to cyber space rights and freedom? What’s your take on this move? Anyone? BAKE?
