FYI, should the Kenyan government consider such moves , if not how can
we achieve a balance between Freedom of expression and responsibility
on the Internet? Swala Nyeti :-)
Dear all,
Bangladesh govt. blocks youTube from today in order to avoid
impending
violence. This is a serious concern for us who advocate that "content
filtering is not a solution rather it should be removed at the
source." We understand that this is an issue of "freedom of
expression" and due to the corresponding legislation Google is not
being able to remove it.
On behalf of the Internet Society Bangladesh Dhaka Chapter may I
request chapter delegates and people concerned with Internet
governance issues to think about ways how we can address this sort of
issues in future. There should be a global consensus about the content
that fuels deadly violence shouldn't be hosted by anybody, content
that has been flagged by thousands of people should be removed,
content about which one third of the worlds population has unequivocal
objection can definitely set aside from other contents.
I guess most of you will agree that this is a very sensitive issue and
Muslims
around the world are deeply shocked by the violence thats
being erupting all over the world killing innocent lives as well as by
the fact that the content still stays at the source.
Kind Regards
