National Inteligence Service (NIS) Director General, Noordin Haji, has again cautioned members of the public against misunsing social media platforms, terming it a huge threat to national and regional security.
Speaking during the Mashariki Cooperation Conference in Naivasha, Nakuru County on Thursday, April 3, Haji noted that the rise of social media misuse could distabilise the country and plunge it into unrest.
Addressing a security delegation, the NIS boss maintained that the misuse of social media remained a huge threat to national security, as most people used the platform to fuel misinformation and incite violence.
He reiterated that while free speech remained a cornerstone of democracy, there needed to be a balance between free speech and national security.
