Hi JD,
1. The Constitution provides for the right to privacy under the Bill of Rights. Data protection law is work in progress.
2. You may not be held liable for now on how users use your system though you should at least put in place a 'acceptable/fair use' policy. However, in the event misuse happens, you'd be required to assist in containing such as occurrence. See the Kenya Information and Communications Act CAP411A - chapter in e-transactions.
Regards,
Vincent

If I am running an online business in Kenya say a kenyan facebook or a site that collects user information, are there laws that govern what I can do with the user information? Can I be held liable if for example users on my portal/platform use it to mobilise each other to cause damage to property or defame someone?What is the best ownership structure for such a business from a legal point of view?Thanks._______________________________________________
