May 24, 2024, 03:25 PM
The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) has issued a notice to several YouTube channels in Kenya, demanding that content creators obtain licenses within 14 days to avoid action. The KFCB stated that YouTube content creators were producing audio-visual content without the required licenses and regulations from the board. This move has caused an uproar among content creators. The KFCB also wants YouTube creators to send their content for review and approval before uploading it to their channels. However, the KFCB Chair has since revoked the notice demanding licenses from YouTube content creators.
