there is need to take the same approach as organizations are doing by conducting
a personal data privacy impact assessment. E.g. what is the real risk of your
personal identifiable Information leaking? One example was the personal
telephone number. You hide it online but hand out your business cards that have
your contact details.</span></p>

I may offer you a tip and a safeguard on e-commerce: there are cards that banks
issue whether you bank with them or not, which you can load using Mpesa and use
to transact online so that you do not expose your main card to fraudsters.
I have had one from I&M Bank since 2011 (renewable), and I load it with
just the money I need to make a purchase so I never worry about any unauthorized
purchases on it. It is a great way
to beat online fraud exposure. </span></p>

services/websites/apps don’t give any options. You accept the Terms and
Conditions or you don’t. It is good that nowadays, at least in Android that I
know well, permissions can be easily denied or limited for apps in relation to
accessing certain functions from the device. However this is not the same as
using data itself. Hopefully in the future there will be more flexibility and
options around what one accepts. With cookies, some websites give options
(either a list of several things you can toggle on or off, or options of
reject, minimum required, all) though other websites don’t give options at all.</span></p>

am not aware of any voluntary standards in Kenya that a website/app/service
could self-certify against or be independently verified against that shows they
meet such standards around use of data protection/privacy. An Act really only
defines illegal and legal, but it is good to have different options within
legal that can show strong, stronger, very strong protections, for example,
that are something that is voluntary but could be recognized by users.</span></p>

issue I raise around data protection and privacy, i.e. if you meet the standard
then you do not share data to third parties, or that any data you share is
anonymized, or to some other definition? I am not an ISO expert, but I thought
they focus more on following processes than actual results, and may not be
specific enough to convince me they are not sharing my data….</span></p>

I am just not well enough informed, in which case whoever promotes such ISO
standards that can assure me of such are not promoting it very well, or have
few apps/websites/services adopting such standards, or both….Being voluntary is
a good thing. But there needs to be awareness of the benefits of those
standards; and maybe some market pressure to adopt the standards</span></p>

elicit a sense of responsibility from anyone who acquires them towards ensuring
their information assets are properly managed and well protected.
Digitalization revolves around processes, the standards actually address such
processes. Not sure if there is a simpler solution among other bodies such as
ISACA. Probably ISACA members on the list can shed some light. <a href="mailto:kivuva@kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">@Mwendwa Kivuva</a></span></p>

one, the IEBC normally responds by sticking to the law and the regulations as
passed by Bunge. Does that mean parliament normally pass things that they do
not understand? Two, is there a need to re-look at the same laws and perhaps
look at what can be amended before the election year? This is where we normally
get it wrong every electoral cycle, we make elections an event and not a
process.</span></p>

this is an important issue and I would like to thank you Wanjiru for leading
this discussion. A research by Mozilla Fellow Odanga Madung revealed that there
is disinformation being spread on TikTok and it violates the platform’s
policies. This disinformation is similar in tone and quality to the Cambridge
Analytica and Harris Media content that spread on Kenyan Facebook in 2017. In
2017 we did not have Tiktok but now we can see new platforms being used by
politicians to push their agenda.</span></p>

with Francis, that recently SABC News interviewed digital

that Political parties consider social media is very important to win elections

role associated with Video content on all platforms but also TikTok, because of
how the platform is designed.</span></p>
