Transforming Kenya: The Impact of

#SocialMedia4Peace Kenya
Social media platforms have become hotbeds for disinformation, multiple forms of hate speech, and discrimination. Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram are silencing - especially those with the least power in the millions! Platforms are failing to stop this hate, in part because their algorithms are designed to amplify the most sensationalist content.
On 14 March 2023, ARTICLE 19, in partnership with UNESCO East Africa, launched a national coalition on freedom of expression and content moderation in Kenya (the Coalition). The Coalition is a multi-stakeholder collaboration between academics, national regulators, media actors, peace-building organisations and civil society, established as part of the Social Media 4 Peace project funded by the European Union.
It would provide social media platforms with a one-stop shop where they could easily hear the concerns of local civil society. And it would give a voice to local civil society actors affected by disinformation speech that incites discrimination, and content-moderation decisions that overlook the local context.
