Description

In this episode of 24Bit, we dive into Kenya’s growing push to regulate social media platforms. The government wants tech giants to set up local offices, citing concerns over content moderation, misinformation, and national security.


But what does this mean for digital freedoms, online activism, and censorship? We explore the role of social media in protests, legal battles against Meta, and the economic impact of these regulations.


Are these measures about accountability, or is this a step toward suppressing dissent? Tune in as we break down what’s at stake for users, businesses, and the future of the internet in Kenya.
