A non-profit organization advocating for the protection of children and the family unit has petitioned the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) to provide a status update on the ban of the Tiktok live feature.

CitizenGo Campaigns Director Anne Njogu says they are concerned that implementing the ban is taking time, as she called on the regulating agency to expedite the process.

She stated that banning the live feature in the popular social media app will help save the community from social decay before the matter gets out of hand. "We are concerned that implementing the ban is taking time, and we would like to see this expedited. We are losing a generation to TikTok due to the live, unfathomable things that happen in these recordings," announced CitizenGo.The development came after KFCB interim CEO Joel Wamalwa asked TikTok to make the 'live feature' ineffective on the app so that they can ensure that no community guidelines in the country are violated.

Wamalwa stated that KFCB in collaboration with other relevant Government agencies is keen on fostering cooperation with TikTok and other platforms to help content creators monetize and commercialize their talents. "The role of KFCB is to regulate the creation, broadcasting, possession, distribution, and exhibition of film and broadcast content," cited from the KFCB website.Get the latest in African news delivered straight to your inbox
