A legal battle over Kenya's cybercrime law has escalated to the Supreme Court, following a Court of Appeal ruling that partially invalidated key provisions related to online speech.

• Key provisions criminalizing the publication of "false or misleading information" under the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018 were struck down as unconstitutional by the Court of Appeal on March 6, 2026.
• Appeals have been filed by the Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE), the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and civil society groups including the Law Society of Kenya.
• The Court of Appeal upheld other sections of the law, such as those addressing cyber harassment and unlawful data interception, deeming them necessary and clearly defined.
