Karen Nyamu has been temporarily banned from using TikTok’s live feature after an incident where she was seen embracing another woman closely during a live broadcast.
In reaction to this, the nominated senator expressed her support for TikTok’s decision through Insta Stories and praised the platform for its dedication to enforcing community guidelines.
“I like the controls and checks TikTok has put in place. A lady just happened to hug me on my live, and this happened,” Nyamu wrote.
She humorously dispelled rumours about TikTok facing a ban in Kenya, suggesting that such an outcome would only come to pass over her metaphorical dead body.
“TikTok itabanniwa in Kenya nikiwa bafu nikioga (TikTok will only be banned in Kenya over my dead body),” she amusingly remarked.
Sharing a screenshot, the senator revealed that her suspension from the live feature was brief, with access reinstated after a few hours.
“Your access to go LIVE and multi-guest will be restored on May 7, 2024, 11:29 PM. Your access to mobile gaming will be restored on May 7, 2024, 11:29 PM. Violation reasons; Sexually suggestive content,” the screenshot read.
