KFCB to Inspect Entertainment Venues and Monitor Online Platforms to Protect Children

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) will intensify online monitoring and inspections of audiovisual premises for three months to protect children from inappropriate content. Following the schools’ closure for the long end-of-year holiday, the board will work with other government agencies to check compliance at venues such as gaming hubs and monitor content posted on social media. KFCB urged broadcasters and operators to follow licensing and classification requirements, and advised parents to use parental controls, limit screen time, and monitor their children’s activities and whereabouts.
