  Many bloggers across the globe have been claiming that their lives are in danger.This has caused a major threat to them because they no longer  enjoy the freedom of speech as articulated by the constitution under the bill of rights.Some of them have been also reported gone missing without trace.
  
   Blogging was immensely welcomed with the advent of social media.Blogs are being used as a tool to convey message,and sharing of topical stories with your viewers.Blogs have proven to be the best in Agenda settings since the mainstream media has slept over their role.Bloggers have come out to show  what the mainstream media can not put out to the public.

   

  What makes social media so addictive is the instant and unfiltered access it gives us into
the lives of others.The access provided through blogging and micro-blogging on platforms
like Instagram, Tumbler and Facebook, has
changed the way we consume and share content.

   Recently their has been a case from Cyprian Nyakundi the fearless tweets master and one of the most vocal Kenyans On Twitter claims that his life is in danger, He has also claimed that someone sent CID officers to arrest him, at the same time, his bank accounts have reportedly been frozen.
