[Ronald Ojino]

Seriously, an admin cannot control what people post in a group..this is a
threat to the freedom of expression.

This siege being barrackaded against use of social media during elections
is simply one step away from a total internet shutdown (which shall be
justified)

They are inadvertently stirring up the hornets nest

Whilst I think the heart is in the right place I'm yet to see one
successful prosecution by the NCIC of politicians who spew hatred everyday
in public. This is a red herring. For them to earn goodwill from Kenyans
let them start with what is most common obvious first.

I wonder if screenshots of WhatsApp and Telegram (end to end encrypted
messaging apps) can be adduced as evidence according to the Evidence

Listers,

This topic is currently trending on social media, after the NCIC announced

that they were going after admins of certain WhatsApp groups that are

spreading hate speech.


Here is the presser http://bit.ly/2uqeqAK
