Legit.ng has launched a free, edutainment-style fact-checking course targeting misinformation on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The 14-day campaign, which began on August 25, aims to teach users how to identify and prevent the spread of false information, especially among digital-savvy youth in East Africa.

• TikTok removed over 450,000 videos and banned more than 43,000 accounts in Kenya in Q1 2025 due to violations.
• The course is a collaboration between Legit.ng, Africa Check, and DUBAWA, established fact-checking organizations.
• It offers expert-backed content with interactive elements and real-life examples, accessible on Legit.ng's and its partners' social channels.
