Duale further seeks to make it illegal for any to use electronic mediums to promote terrorism, religious extremism, or cult activities. The law seeks to make it illegal to distribute, transmit, disseminate, circulate, deliver, exhibit, or make such material available in any way. Publishing, as per the new law, would mean having in possession or custody or under control, for purposes of distributing or exhibiting sexually explicit content. Kenya only has laws on controlling child pornography with no clear provision of what happens to sexually explicit content involving adults – persons over 18 years. The government in November 2018 announced plans to close porn websites and regulate films with explicit content.
