​A Social Media Summit by Africa Uncensored

​Social media did not just change how we communicate. It changed who gets to be believed.

​In Kenya, it is where elections are shaped, where investigative stories spread or get buried, and where the line between journalism, influence, and disinformation keeps getting harder to trace. As the country moves closer to the next general election, the information environment is already under pressure.

​SCROLL 2026 is a one-day public summit by Africa Uncensored bringing together journalists, fact-checkers, digital content creators, civic technologists, digital rights advocates, and members of the public who care about truth, trust, and accountability online.

​This is not a celebration of social media. It is an interrogation of it.

​The summit will move through a series of progressive conversations on what social media has done to Africa’s information ecosystem, how journalists and creators are navigating it, and what needs to be done before 2027.

​Expect live panel discussions with practitioners and advocates, hands-on fact-checking and synthetic media detection facilitated by Piga Firimbi, a Misinformation Museum installation documenting some of Kenya’s most consequential false narratives, live audience polling, and the Scroll Throne, a video booth where attendees reflect on what the feed has done to them.

​Speakers and panellists will be announced soon.
