        <div>Dear All,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>In suppport of Mr. Patrick Mainas Maina's input. <br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The government needs to consider taxing the platforms. This
          is because they make money from us trade in our data and the
          revenue genereted benefits their countries and not ours given
          that they do not pay taxes here. This has been considered in
          Europe. In africa however, no country can apply this taxes on
          its own due to our 'economically colonised' position our
          countries find ourselves in. This means that the easiest
          option for our government becomes the easy route which is
          taxing the end user. This is counterproductive especially for
          those who use social media for productive activities.
          Therefore only a united african front would be succesful in
          getting these giants to pay up and keep our governments from
          considering taxing citizens. It is also important to consider
          that calls made on whatsapp, skype,viber cost less. This means
          that there is revenue reduction for the companies providing
          voice services. Considering that these companies are locally
          based and pay taxes to our government, why should their
          revenue be reduced by services that do not pay taxes to us? I
          suppose this is the logic used by countries like the UAE that
          block the use of whatsapp to make calls whithin their
          borders.  <br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>As for the ability of whatsapp to cause chaos, this is true
          and has been proven and whatsapp itself has acknowlegded this
          fact in countries like India and Pakistan. These are countries
          where fake news and inflammatory messages delivered mainly
          through whatsapp have led to chaos that have led to deaths of
          many people.  Whatsapp has responded by putting in measures to
          ensure that such spread of hate news can be controlled from
          their end. Whatsapp also remains open open to suggestions as
          to how this can be contolled and is actively leading research
          in this area. <br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The question therefore should be, should we leave Whatsapp
          to be in charge of what is transfered on their platform and
          the consequences that follow?  Should government have a role
          in monitoring how whatsapp is being used for harmful
          activities. Overall what is the role of government and the
          various platforms in ensuring this platform and others are
          used responsibly?</div>

                  <div>Morning Mr Patrick Maina,
                    <div><br clear="none">
                    </div>
                    <div>You mention how messaging apps facilitate fake
                      news, crime and other things. You also lay
                      peace,development on a scale versus human rights
                      such as free speech and privacy. </div>
                    <div>Sir, it is good to be objective and factual.
                      Last year Kenya had 10 months of hot politics.
                      Research shows that the Kenyan authorities did not
                      attempt to control, disrupt or shutdown the
                      internet. Hence this tired line of the country
                      going into flames because of the internet
                      (messaging apps) doesn't hold any weight. The
                      number of Kenyan users of these messaging apps and
                      other factors such as social class of users, bots
                      affect the impact of the internet in democratic
                      transitions. The broadcast media shut down in
                      January should tell which communication medium has
                      more impact on the Kenyan society. 😉</div>
                    <div> </div>
                    <div>I believe your intention was to state why
                      companies that offer over the top services should
                      pay taxes here. That is a different argument all
                      together with a different set of facts unless you
                      are advocating for a blanket over the top tax to
                      be paid by users to avoid 'spread of gossip and
                      lies' just like in Uganda.</div>
