[kictanet] Kenya IGF Online Discussions Day 1: Content Regulation on the Internet

[carolyne mimano]

Hello listers,

As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on:

Why content is regulated?
- Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm
to others) security, human dignity, privacy.
-The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etc
For online content how different countries/governments are trying to
regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or
anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

Kind regards
Carolyne
