Tough new rules force all Internet users to list their gadgets

Apologies for cross-posting but look at this: http://www.nation.co.ke/news/CA-WiFi-Internet-Rules-Cybercrime/-/1056/277111... What are they going to do, create one huge captive portal and redirect all WiFi traffic to it? Or force everyone running an access point to implement one? OK, so what if the bad guy's not using wifi? Let's say he's on 3G or LTE. Heck, he could even be on dialup to escape attention. This only sounds like another hot-air, not well thought out proclamation that well, serves to let us know someone reported to work on a particular day. I'm just going to grab the popcorn and watch this one. Hopefully it's going to be a very short one. (PS: does dialup still exist in +254? I think I'll visit my former $dayjob(s) where we used to provide this and see) Regards, Steve

I actually had to double check that it was the Daily Nation and not the Onion. Clearly these guys have no idea how the internet works. Regards, John K. On 1 July 2015 at 09:39, Steve Muchai via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
