[kictanet] How Meta is Preparing for Kenya’s 2022 General Election

[Kelvin Kariuki]

Amazing new features by Meta, like here
<https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/report/?source=archive-landing-page&country=KE>you
can search for a political aspirant to know how much they have spent on
political advertisement across Meta's platforms.

I have also been intrigued by: "In Kenya, we’ll have an “I Voted” sticker
on Instagram. And on Election Day, we’ll remind people in the country that
it’s time to vote with a notification on top of their Facebook Feed as well.
"  but why not have both features on IG and FB?
