Hey yo fools. Goodmorning!
There was this case where Wa-ikulu took gugu and the belongs-to-the-sewer Daily post to court for libel.
Then I heard bla bla bla …oh sijui news aggregator…sijui oh. Then case sijui ilienda aje.
Tell me how do “News Aggregators” work?
Hii kijiji watu wametumia nini leo ?
Upuuusuuuuu,
It’s raining hapa githurai !
The Kenyan subsidiary was sued to hand over identifying information on the blogger. Information that is owned and controlled by the mother company. That’s what killed the case if I recall correctly.
A news aggregator in the Kenyan context is those copy-paste sites that never have original news. Perhaps a legal expert can comment on the liability of the operators.
Kimbia hapo jubilee bar kuna kuna za Mia mbili
Rioba somebody?
I thought libel and defamation cases fundamentally place the burden on the publisher i.e. even sharing libellious info on somebody is enough to convict u even if u are not the originator of the info.
The publisher was unknown at the time and the court was compelling the hosting platform to disclose his identity.
If I remember correctly the blogger is some Kisii fellow in downtown Nairobi. Some enterprising Kenyan leaked his identity a while back.
