<p dir="ltr">Dear Listers</p>
<p dir="ltr">I think its a high time that Kenyan Tech Firms start releasing transparency reports like is being done by Google Yahoo! and others. It is important for the public to know among others what ISPs and mobile telcos are doing with user data, who has requested for it, who they have shared it with and why.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Yahoo legal action over data report<br>
9 September 2013 6:14 PM</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yahoo says the requests with which it complied applied to fewer than 0.01% of its users worldwide.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yahoo has begun legal action demanding it be allowed to disclose details of US national security agencies' requests to access the personal data of its users.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The move comes a few days after Yahoo published its first transparency report, detailing the overall number of global government requests for data.<br></p>
