The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
In today's hyper-connected world, the digital space has become Kenya's new public square. Social media platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and WhatsApp are now central to how we communicate, organise and engage in national discourse. But amid the memes and trending hashtags lies a dangerous undercurrent - online hate speech.
While hate speech in Kenya is not new, the speed and scale at which it now spreads online has amplified its threat to peace and social cohesion. What used to be whispered in villages or plotted in backroom meetings is now broadcast instantly to thousands, sometimes millions, at the click of a button.
