[kictanet] Child marriage on facebook

[Hannington Oduor]

The question sits squarely at the intersection of three things
1. Is the government tech savvy enough to regulate big ISPs FB, Google etc

2. Have the services of the big Tech spun out of their control reducing
their admins to spectators?

3. If the first two are positive, is the market equipped with the right
tools to address the concern?
