The Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) and the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) have launched a crackdown on social media users sharing copyrighted content on their accounts.
KECOBO Executive Director George Nyakweba on Friday revealed that the agency had received complaints from several entities regarding the infringement of their works on social media platforms, notably Facebook, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
According to Nyakweba, available information indicates that several Facebook and WhatsApp groups have been created solely for sharing e-newspapers, popular TV content, movies, and pirated subscription codes.
The copyright enforcement agency boss warned of a clampdown on Kenyans sharing pirated soft copies of books online.
