Not. Becoming the norm. I know youre welcome to the program now whether you like it or not on social media here to stay but the question is how are you using them do you verify before you share information and how safe is your data to know more about that experts in the Digital Development data on internet regulation currently in berlin for the Internet Governance Forum they are here to debate what legal frameworks are necessary to ensure the use of data for public good and discuss strategies for harness and data the conference was opened by the un secretary general. We have a collective responsibility to give the election to these technologies so that we maximize benefits and curtail any intended consequences and malicious use and so far we have not yet kept pace. There is an absence of Technical Expertise among policymakers even in the most developed grump use for more on this i have in the studio on journalist. Who is that in the conference thanks for joining us for having me so the u. N. Secretary general good terrorises we just says theres a lack of expertise to handle the challenges the internet comes with which african countries are looking at well which ones are not i think a lot of countries are approaching the problem from Different Directions and some are doing more political work thats trying to lay the groundwork for regulations and sort of control over hate speech and other things challenges that are arising on the internet and some are focusing more on the technical aspects to do with for example governance of intellectual property and governance of how information is generated on the internet is managed so far we have only about only 2 countries that have an explicit Data Protection law we have south africa and kenya and thats really focused on Financial Technologies and how we use the internet for business and how to use them to Corporate Governance but i think more and more were seeing african countries sort of catching up with the realization that this is something that they need to get on board with very quickly that is good you already mentioned that but why is it important to look at the author of the specter of worry talk about internets and governments theres 2 challenges i think we need to Pay Attention to one is because of the lack of regulation with a lot of International Corporations going into african markets to sort of experiment on african populations with technologies that would not be acceptable anywhere else in the world and of course there are ethical questions that come from that but on the other side we also have the internet as a possibility as a frontier that african countries can explore for Economic Development for building inclusive societies and its very important to get ahead of some of these challenges before theyve become completely out of control and were not able to rein in any of the problems that arise now in your book you speak about a digital double cross yet its influence on politics what exactly do you mean by that well my love my books of a. Collision between technology and politics and it looks at how the society the history and the politics of kenya sort of intersects with how the technology has rolled out in the country as you know kenya is not the biggest anything in africa its not the biggest by population its not the biggest by comic size lot of biggest by any metric and yet here we have this country that is the world leader in mobile money transactions that is the world for example in uptake of internet based many internet based technologies how does that happen i look at the intersection of that because my argument is basically if you want to understand how the internet will affect a society you have to begin by understanding that society and thats the best way you can move forward so the internet is like a tool is like having a knife you can use it for good or for bad that is big news is all about of these Al Qaeda Leaders that see an internet cycle i think Everybody Needs to be more deliberate and intentional about developing the tools to discern between truth and propaganda the bottom line is propaganda has been with us since time immemorial this is a new medium this is a new platform that requires new skills and new techniques and i think weve left it a little bit late but theres still time to catch up we just have to develop internet specific approaches internet specific discernment so for example im using reverse image search that something thats very specific to the internet can that can help you i can stop you from sharing an image thats being shared out of context with alarmism and other things so its disseminating that information and hopefully having the same kind of generational shift that we had for example when the radio was introduced when television was introduced those media specific tools that help us navigate the mess that can arise.
