[kictanet] KIGF Call For Topics

[Twahir Hussein Kassim]

Thank you Madam Chair / Headmistress 😊,

While Election matters might squarely fall under Data Protection & Privacy,
due to the upcoming elections and the heat that is already simmering. I
think Elections 2022 should be captured as a topic on its own. This will
encompass all matters surrounding elections, from fake news, mudslinging
etc.

I would also suggest that Freedom of the Internet needs to be captured.

That's all for now...
