Abstract

Globally, there is concern about the growing power of technology companies as they pervade private and public spheres of life. Shifting the gaze from the European Union and United Nations where new frameworks for business accountability are emerging, this article discusses the role and impact of private companies taking on public roles in Kenya’s digitalisation and the historical roots of the alliance between the state and private companies. Through case studies, the article discusses an emerging response where individuals and groups are taking up strategic litigation against these private companies.
通过战略诉讼检验科技企业在公共角色中的权力——以肯尼亚为例
在全球范围内,人们担心科技公司在私人和公共生活领域的影响力越来越大。本文将目光从欧盟和联合国转移到新的商业问责框架正在出现的地方,讨论了私营公司在肯尼亚数字化中扮演公共角色的作用和影响,以及国家和私营公司之间联盟的历史根源。通过案例研究,文章讨论了个人和团体对这些私营公司提起战略诉讼的新反应。
