Social media has this week been awash with ai generated images, videos and humorous content, as some Kenyans went online to mount a pushback against President William Ruto’s shoot in the leg order to police against violent protesters. Kenyans on social media have castigated the order as barbaric. The satirical content has become a weapon of political resistance for 'netizens' and has become more lethal especially since the Gen Z led protests, which began last year.
