Hi Listers, Meta has today published a blog on the measures it is taking in preparation for Kenya's 2022 election. Feel free to point out what more the platform can do. ** *Today, we’re sharing an update on our work to help ensure a safe and secure General Election in Kenya on August 9. We’ve been preparing for the country’s 2022 election over the past year with the help of a dedicated team that’s working closely with election authorities and trusted partners in the country. Additionally, we’ve invested in people and technology to help reduce the spread of misinformation, detect and remove hate speech, improve digital literacy and help make political advertising more transparent.* *Read more: https://about.fb.com/news/2022/07/how-metas-preparing-for-kenyas-2022-genera... <https://about.fb.com/news/2022/07/how-metas-preparing-for-kenyas-2022-general-election/?shareadraft=62d71a2bed000>* Regards, *Victor Kapiyo* Partner | *Lawmark Partners LLP* *Suite No. 8, Centro House, Westlands, Nairobi | **Web: www.lawmark.co.ke <http://www.lawmark.co.ke> * ==================================================== *“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude” Zig Ziglar*
Amazing new features by Meta, like here <https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/report/?source=archive-landing-page&country=KE>you can search for a political aspirant to know how much they have spent on political advertisement across Meta's platforms. I have also been intrigued by: "In Kenya, we’ll have an “I Voted” sticker on Instagram. And on Election Day, we’ll remind people in the country that it’s time to vote with a notification on top of their Facebook Feed as well. " but why not have both features on IG and FB?
