The most recent JOCAM article by @olooranti explores the internet use of 🇰🇪 adolescents, aged 12–14 years. In-depth interviews with 18 students were conducted. The participants report on the challenges they encounter during their use of online media (e.g., stalking, or fraud).

While adolescents’ digital platform use has been studied extensively in other countries, little is known about the online behaviors of African adolescents in general and Kenyan adolescents in particular.https://t.co/ZK6mgr0am3 @KICDKenya @ntvkenya @CA_Kenya @SafaricomPLC

This is exactly why @africanofilter exists — to support the telling of stories that show we are a creative and innovative people, and that we have agency because Africa is so much more than the stereotypes we have been sold.

[Moky Makura @mokymakura]

Too often we let narratives dominate our thinking. We ignore the facts.

According to the data, only 2 of the top 10 countries to impose an #internetshutdown are African countries.
