Bloggers decry digital rights purge by State
State agencies can slow down the internet, either on an entire network or to a specific website or platform, a concept known as network throttling that aims at making the connection extremely slow that it becomes unusable.
The Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE) has called out what it terms as up-scaled government overreach in surveillance and censorship of online activities, saying the trend poses a direct threat to the digital rights and freedoms of citizens.
In a new report that assesses the state of the internet landscape in Kenya, BAKE says the country’s digital progress and status as a regional tech leader are being undermined by the erosion of citizen freedoms and the absence of clear legal instruments to govern the space.
