How will mass access to social media, tiktok and the internet for everyone affect Somalia's society for the next 20 years?

[World]

Everyone including the poor will grow up in a tiktok/social media/internet era, it will be very influential in shaping Somali society. Any predictions?

When the #SayWallahi party takes over there will be a 36 month media blackout back home. I've convened with the adeers by the timmies, they estimate around 2-3 million qashin niglets ought to be put down. Vote for the SayWallahi party in the upcoming 2026 election n this problem will be handled walaal.

its already tragic, we should be like Turkmenistan. Restricted internet and freedom of expression. Violating people's rights and oppressing those who disobey.

InshaAllah, Somalia will have a leader who rules the country with iron fists

Yes, but it can't get any worse. Because these people on social media have only just now had access to the outside global world. You think they became bad, but that's how they've always been and it's now out in the opinion.

That's what Al Shabab does in their regions, trust me it's a good thing for people to have freedom of expression and internet. Eventually they will get bored of their little qabiil wars online, let them fight it out now. But theres no way they can see how other countries live, and not be influenced by it. As long as tahriib is stopped, they will use that energy to improve their country.

At the moment they only engage with degeneracy and descturation. Maybe due to lack of education but internet is not doing us any favour while being a poor country.

More incels back home probably. Gen z will be living way more luxurious compared to our parents in the west so niggas back home will probably feel a lot more jealous.

I've been black pilled world. Didn't realize how down bad our demographic was until I hopped on here.

I regret becoming a Z0ooo supremacist.

This incel nonsense is unfathomable in somalia, its for western cuck basement dwellers. Dont smear them like that.

 

[haye haye]

Already cooked with the level of internet and social media use right now. Insanely easy to psyop Somalis, very susceptible to fake news and quick to incitement. I think western social media apps should not be able to operate in Somalia without strong moderation.

We can only hope that it will have eugenics effect in the sense that the bums take themselves out.

Severely Negatively.

 

[Peppar]

This could be a good thing if we spread anti qabyaalad and anti al kebab rhetoric to people back home with the help of social media. Just look at what pro palestine protesters have achieved. They will see how the diaspora live and be determined to fix up and do better.

 

[aarkamudug]

wixii awal qarsanaa is out in the open now

 

[Do]

The Somali diaspora doesn't even know how to conduct themselves appropriately despite being raised in a society where advanced technology is commonplace and not a novel sight by any means.

Now imagine a bunch of native Somalis emerging from their internet-deprived tuulos combined with that same reactionary state of mind and the behavioural problems highlighted by @haye haye above.

Disaster would inevitably ensue. That's why I believe Twitter should be tightly regulated and gradually introduced to the people, instead of hard launched.

You’re gonna see Al-Shabaab in 2035 introducing “Fanum Taxes”.

Its not going to affect Somalia any differently from other African countries tbh
