Proposed Social Media Law in Kenya

Thank you for outlining the key points of the proposed KICA Amendment Bill
2025. Globally, registering on digital platforms typically requires a valid
email or phone number for verification and account recovery. Mandating an
ID for registration could pose significant challenges, especially without
robust safeguards to protect collected data.

I believe digital literacy is a more effective approach to combating
misinformation and disinformation. Often, it’s not just users but also
governments that contribute to spreading such content.

On a lighter note, content creation isn’t exclusive to the youth. We should
move away from this misconception. People of all ages are actively creating
content across various platforms, and framing it as a youth-only activity
misses the broader picture.
