[kictanet] PRE KIGF ONLINE DISCUSSIONS DAY 3 - ONLINE BULLYING: HOW SAFE IS THE SPACE?

[WANGARI KABIRU]

The space is as safe as you engage in what is the "Internet design of Fair trade"; go receiving free (and paid up) cookies on the streets of WWW and allow the strangers to harvest you and follow you!
It is interesting to hear the Private Investigator's take on privacy; every hippie, young person getting into this virgin space should have a whole tutorial then make their choices. The PI has pulled out a whole family data from one of the members very active internet trail.
Enjoy listening in!

I think in the open issues to be addressed, we should also consider the question of when does cyber bullying move dangerously from abuse to hate and incitement? This is in light of Internet trawlers who personalize and polarize any and every discussion or news item.

Dear all,Thanks for the very enlightening discussion on cyber bullying. The key take-aways of the discussion are as follows:1) What are the trends?            - There have been deaths attributed to cyber bullying?         - Adults are victims of revenge pornography         - Cyber bullying is rampant on a range of platforms         - Mob mentality is playing out online2) Do we have capacity to adequately respond to cyber crimeincidences? - Need to invest heavily in cyber-crime units in thepolice force and have them digitized. - Other social channels that can be used to address this issue arenot addressing it.3) What are the challenges in tackling the offence?  - Finding the perpetrators is hard especially inmass bullying.4) What should be done to address this offence? - Parents should be made aware of protection mechanisms especiallyfor children. - Bullying victims and perpetrators need counseling. - Family situation needs to be addressed. - Interrelated issues need to be addressed as bullying cannot behandled in isolation. - Law enforcement officers should be kept updated on the evolvingstate of online behavior - Parents and teachers should have access to tools that can be usedto monitor their children’s online activities - Provision of cyber-crime unit emergency numbers to online users. Open issues to be addressed.        -  Is bullying gloried in Kenyan TV shows and songs?        - Should criminal law be used to curb cyberbullying?Tomorrow we shall be having an interesting discussion on the Fintech ecosystem moderated by Rosemary. Looking forward to it =)Do have a blessed evening.Regards,Ronald Ojino
