Everybody from your Granny to the Taliban uses it; but where is the fact-checking? This episode looks at how WhatsApp and disinformation go hand in hand in Kenya and Nigeria.
We look at how you can spot fake medical news yourself; how to report on a disease that doesn't officially exist; and learn how did one anti-vax Kenyan doctor lead the movement to downplay Covid-19, before succumbing to the disease himself.
Featuring Kenyan reporter Peter Mwai and American filmmaker Charles Kriel.
