The emergence of new information communication technologies (ICTs) like compact disc (CD) and digital versatile/video disc (DVD) players, computers, Internet and mobile phones, has focused debates among development experts on the opportunities, uncertainties and challenges of using these technologies in behaviour change campaigns. Heeks (1999) defines ICTs as electronic means of capturing, processing, storing and communicating infmmation. The older ICTs have analogue systems and these include the radio and television while the newer ones are digital and they include telephones, wireless cellular phones, communication satellites, computers and the Internet. This study examines the adequacy and inadequacy of the existing legal framework of the ICT laws in Uganda, as related to the sex tapes, nude pictures, and Ugandan female celebrities.
