Short-form video hosting service TikTok will work with Kenya in
reviewing and monitoring its content.
The move, President William Ruto said, will ensure that content
on the platform adheres to agreed guidelines.
In a virtual meeting with President Ruto on Thursday morning,
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew committed to ensuring that content is moderated to fit
community standards.
This new development means that inappropriate or offensive
content will be expunged from the platform.
During the meeting, Mr Chew also agreed to set up a Kenyan
Office to coordinate its operations in the continent.
He pledged to hire more Kenyans to work for the platform.
