When a repair shop runs adult videos on a public screen, it isn’t just a matter of taste.

A 2023 study by the African Institute for Cyber‑Security (AICS) found that 27 % of informal repair shops in Nairobi kept a copy of a customer’s photo gallery on a local backup drive—often without consent.

Hata hivyo, baadhi ya habari hizi hubeba mshtuko mkubwa, hasa zinapohusiana na ukiukwaji wa faragha ya watu binafsi. Hivi karibuni, wimbi la taarifa limekumba mitandao ya kijamii nchini Kenya, Tanzania, na sehemu mbalimbali za Afrika Mashariki kuhusu kijana anayejulikana kwa jina la utani "Wakubwa Tu 18" – fundi simu anayedaiwa kuvujisha picha za uchi za wateja wake.

Lakini je, hii ni hadithi ya kweli au ni onyo kwa jamii? Na ina maana gani kwa usalama wa kidijitali? Hebu tuchambue kwa kina.

Jina "Wakubwa Tu 18" litabaki kuwa onyo kwa kila fundi anayetaka kutumia ujuzi wake kimakosa. Lakini pia ni wito kwa wanawake na wasichana kuwa macho na kuthubutu kuripoti kila wakati wanapogundua kuwa picha zao zimetumika vibaya.

Kwa mujibu wa sheria za Afrika Mashariki, hasa Sheria ya Makosa ya Mtandao (Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act) nchini Kenya na Sheria ya Mtandao (Cybercrimes Act, 2018) Tanzania, kuvujisha picha za uchi bila idhini ni kosa kubwa la jinai, na halihusiani na umri wa mhusika (hata kama ni "18").
