For much of the world, Facebook is the internet. In Kenya, Facebook’s popularity has been growing at a rate of one million users annually and there is every reason for this. It is a convenient way to connect with friends, family, business associates or even track an ex-lover’s life.

With its endless feed that goes on as long as you scroll, you can keep tabs of almost anyone you want without seeking their permission. A background check on a potential date, customer, employee, a car you want to buy or a holiday destination is now possible courtesy of the networking site turned-global-phenomenon.
