Facebook risks being suspended in Kenya if it does not adhere to policies to prevent the spread of hate speech, a government agency has announced. “If Facebook doesn’t comply with requirements we have set out within seven days, we will recommend they suspend their operations. We will not allow Facebook to jeopardise our national security”, NCIC’s Dr David Makori said. One in English was rejected for not complying with Facebook’s guidelines on hate speech. Global Witness says the adverts were never published on Facebook but they were concerned by how they went through without detection.
