Could the U.S. TikTok ban influence allied nations and Africa?
Newly-elected U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order granting TikTok a 75-day extension to comply with a law mandating its sale to avoid a ban.
The platform briefly went offline in the U.S. shortly before Trump took office, following a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the legislation against ByteDance's appeal.
In this episode, we explore the implications of the ban and its potential ripple effects in other countries.

The Kenya Communication Authority (CA) has proposed a substantial increase in licensing fees for satellite internet service providers (ISPs) such as Starlink as it seeks to review the Satellite Landing Rights (SLR) licence it requires for satellite ISPs to obtain to operate in the country.
Under the new proposal, the cost of a 15-year operating license would rise from USD 12,302 (KES 1,579,614) to USD 115,331 (KES 14,808,846), representing an almost 1,000% hike. Additionally, ISPs would be required to pay an annual fee equivalent to 0.4% of their total revenue.
This proposed regulatory change published in December comes as Starlink expands rapidly in Kenya, to address the growing demand for high-speed internet connectivity.
Join me Nick Kanali and Allan Niongira as we discuss what effect this will have on Starlink and its users in Kenya.
