TLDR

  • In Tanzania, the Cybercrimes Act, 2015 makes intentional and unlawful access to a computer system an offence.
  • And that brings us to something you may not have heard discussed this way before: cyber trespass.
  • At first, you might think, “Well, if Intel said stop and he kept sending the emails, surely that is trespass.” But the court looked a little deeper.
  • The court therefore did not treat Hamidi’s conduct as trespass to chattels simply because the messages were unwanted.
  • And that case teaches us that not every unwanted thing online is automatically cyber trespass.

We find a new way to sell; someone finds a new way to steal. We find a new way to communicate, someone finds a new way to interfere. We build our businesses online and someone else learns how to break into the very space where that business lives.
