    "content": " Hon. Speaker, while you were reading the very meaningful Petition, the Leader of the Majority Party adversely mentioned my name saying that I was on TikTok. I confirm that I indeed subscribe to TikTok. I am a very popular content creator there, but I try to empower children. Social media is not only open to people who want to abuse the platform, but it is also an avenue for many young Kenyans who are trying to eke out a living, as well as for marketing. As a House, we cannot say that we want to do away with TikTok. Young people are at the centre of many challenges such as rising unemployment levels. Some young people are earning up to Ksh300,000 per month on TikTok, money that they would not make in the regular market. As much as we are alive to the dangers of social media, we should see how to regulate abuse of content creation on social media. Many digital content creators are just people who are trying to put something on their tables. I, therefore, propose that we amend this Petition to only regulate TikTok, but not to do away with it entirely."
