**Executive Summary:** Kenya's Data Protection Commissioner has ordered TikTok to disclose whether it complies with national privacy and user verification laws after authorities raised concerns the platform is being abused by cybercriminals to spread disinformation, steal accounts via identity theft and impersonation, and run fraudulent job recruitment and trading schemes; the report also notes parallel international scrutiny (UK, US) but contains no technical incident details.
