I can't access the official Uganda Communications Commission website, but this appears to be a copy of the order https://twitter.com/DougColtart/status/1349442878481846272/photo/1So sad to read this. How is it possible to think this is good to anybody?.., ok, maybe to the very high politicians of the country, but no one else. Not less than 44 million people negative affected. That's it. Alejandro,
It is mildly interesting to see what Twitter itself has to say about it: https://twitter.com/Policy/status/1349059275461685250 "Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps. We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.” Oh, the jokes just write themselves… -Andy
