Malawi’s popular online entertainment platform,Mikozi, has been temporarily taken down.
According the platform’s founder Bright ‘Excess’ Chiligo, the move is a proactive step towards Facebook verification to combat misinformation and protect their brand.
Chiligo explains that numerous fake pages have been impersonating Mikozi, sharing harmful content and causing confusion among users.
“We have received multiple inquiries from individuals claiming to have been affected by our content, but these are actually the actions of our impersonators,” clarifies Chiligo.
He says the page will be restored within 48 hours.
