Parents and telecom firms risk a Sh300,000 fine over the registration of children using smartphones in the latest push to restrict the exposure of minors to online misconduct such as pornography, hate speech and cybercrime.

Parents will be expected to provide the identity of children using smartphones while registering SIM cards used by minors under proposed Internet safety guidelines released last week for public debate.
