The theme for this year, \u201cEnabling Digital Transformation: Leveraging Technical Tools for a Safer Online World,\u201d was not just a mere slogan but a call to action. In a powerful keynote address, Professor Edward Kisiang\u2019ani, representing Prime Minister William Kabogo, sounded the alarm on the misuse of social media by the youth.The message was clear &#8211; online freedom should not be a license to overstep boundaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"288\" height=\"174\" src=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/images-4-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4684\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Kisiang&#8217;ani didn\u2019t stop there; he called on parents to step up and raise their children responsibly. The need for strict legal action against those who mislead young people on social media was emphasized by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK).Moreover, PS Edward Kisiang&#8217;ani issued a stern warning to parents shielding their children from the consequences of social media misuse. The ripple effect of disrespectful online behavior could easily spill over into disrespect towards parents. This is a wake-up call for all stakeholders to take online safety seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the government rolls out strategies to combat online crimes like cyberbullying, it is evident that certain sectors have managed to sidestep existing laws protecting internet users, including AI. The need for international cooperation to create robust laws that safeguard individuals online and curb cybercrime cannot be overstated.The staggering statistics shared by the Communications Authority of Kenya paint a grim picture of the cyber threats facing the country. With 3.5 billion cyber threats recorded in the last financial year, including 1.5 billion attacks in the last six months alone, it is clear that urgent action is needed to secure a safer online world for all. Let\u2019s heed the call to action and work together towards a safer digital future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Safer Internet Day 2025, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) took center stage in Nairobi to champion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[2,4,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-classified","category-entertainment","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 -
