The High Court in Nairobi has rejected an application by the Paradigm Initiative (PIN) to join a data protection case against X Corp (formerly Twitter) as an amicus curiae.

• The case was filed by Felix Kibet, seeking to compel X Corp to delete accounts using aliases, remove objectionable content, and ensure platform safety.
• PIN wanted to provide expert submissions on digital rights, online anonymity, and their relationship with freedom of expression and privacy.
• The court ruled that PIN failed to meet the neutrality standard required for an amicus, citing suspicions of partisanship based on the organization's prior publications.
