Kenyan authorities paid trolls to threaten Gen Z protesters, Amnesty says
  • Amnesty International has revealed that Kenyan authorities financed trolls to threaten Gen Z protesters, indicating a systematic effort to undermine dissent. This campaign aims to intimidate young activists and stifle their participation in public discourse.
  • The implications of this development are significant, as it raises concerns about freedom of expression and the lengths to which authorities may go to suppress opposition. Such actions could deter future protests and undermine democratic processes in Kenya.
