Kenyans on social media have kicked off the year by directing their outrage on Tanzanians on the popular social media platform Instagram.
According to social media trendsetter, @XtianDela, the Tanzanians have made Instagram a hub of adult content which include photos and videos. Posting on his Instagram and Twitter timeline, the award winning blogger set the trend for the hashtag #KickTanzaniansOutofIG, which almost immediately became one of the top trending topics.
#KickTanzaniansOutOfIG Tanzanians share a lot of adult content that now has started appearing on the Kenyan feeds. We need to stop it
