TikTok removes video about the rise of digital ID's in Kenya: Evita Duffy-Alphonso, host of Bongino Report Early Edition with Evita, posted a clip of her Sept. 4 show in which she talked about Kanya's digital ID program. "The new world order is closing in on us fast. Kenya's multi-billion dollar digital ID systems intend to digitize citizen's biometric data." She showed a clip of Kenya's Interior and National Administration cabinet secretary Kithure Kindiki explaining the initiative. "Going forward we are looking at upgrading our current automated fingerprint identification system office into an automated biometric identification system which goes beyond the fingerprints and involves the iris, fingerprints as well as facial recognition," he said in the clip Duffy-Alfonso included in her show. According to a screenshot she shared on X, TikTok removed the clip because it "violates our Community Guidelines." It is unclear which guidelines this post would have broken.
This clip from my show this morning on digital IDs in Kenya was just banned on TikTok.

No explanation was given—only that I violated "Community Guidelines." We’ve reached a point where the Censorship Industrial Complex no longer bothers to justify its speech policing.
