Kenya Cracks Down on TikTok Over Exploitative Content Involving Minors

Tiktok deletes 360,000 videos in Kenya for violating its rules

Kenyan authorities have taken decisive action against TikTok following a shocking investigative report by the BBC that exposed the exploitation of minors on the platform. The report, published on Monday, revealed that TikTok was profiting from sexual livestreams featuring Kenyan teenagers as young as 15.

In response, the Communications Authority of Kenya has launched a formal inquiry and has warned that it “will not hesitate to issue sanctions” should any violations of the law be discovered. The country’s legal framework strictly criminalizes online child exploitation, emphasizing the seriousness of these allegations.

The crackdown follows a recent legal case in which a Dutch national was sentenced to 10 years in prison for exposing minors to pornographic content via WhatsApp. This ruling underscores Kenya’s commitment to protecting children from online predators and illicit digital activities.

Furthermore, the regulatory body has demanded that TikTok explain how such offensive content is able to bypass its moderation mechanisms. The platform, which is the third most popular social media app in Kenya after Facebook and WhatsApp, has been called out for its failure to adequately filter harmful material.

With over one billion active users worldwide, TikTok continues to face global scrutiny. In the United States, the app has been accused of espionage, while the European Union has launched an investigation into allegations that TikTok was used to influence Romania’s presidential election in favor of a far-right candidate. Additionally, several countries have imposed bans on the use of the platform by government personnel due to security concerns.

As the inquiry unfolds, Kenyan authorities remain firm in their stance against online exploitation, ensuring that platforms like TikTok are held accountable for the content circulating on their networks. The outcome of this investigation could set a precedent for how digital platforms operate in the region and beyond.
