Do you forget how trump used social media to get elected because the state controlled msm wouldnt shed light on what he has to say. And now we have the entire nation even msm talking about alternate social media platforms. He used em and burned em.
Uganda's communications regulator on Tuesday ordered internet service providers to shut down social media and messaging applications, just two days before elections.
In a letter, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) executive director, Ms Irene Sewankambo ordered telecommunications companies to "immediately suspend any access and use" of social media and online messaging platforms.
Several social media users in Uganda have reported inability to access Facebook and Twitter, among other social media platforms as the country braces for a tense election that has been marred with violence.
By Tuesday morning, several users said they could only access the social media sites through a virtual private network (VPN).
The move comes days after UCC asked all major telecom companies to block access to the iOS AppStore, Google PlayStore and YouTube.
The Minister of Defense and Veteran affairs Adolf Mwesigye and his Internal Affairs Counterpart Gen Jeje Odongo last week told journalists in Kampala that government was working on how best they can manage social media which they claimed has been misused in this election.
"We are now having a challenge of citizen journalism. Social media propaganda is certainly not in the best interest of this country's security. We are looking for a way of dealing with it," Mr Mwesigye said on January 8.
Restriction to Facebook access comes a day after the internet giant on Monday confirmed that it had shut a slew of accounts belonging to Ugandan government officials accused of seeking to manipulate public debate ahead of elections Thursday.

They are in the USA.
You know we are in trouble when Uganda has fairer elections.
Well they should, we've probably given them a small fortune by this point.
The future of America now rests within the seeds we've planted in 3rd world nations.
They know the wey brutah, Kamala is not da queen let's spit on her...
Would you ever think Uganda would conduct elections better than the US?
No.
Uganda went from Idi Amin to fair elections.
USA went from fair elections to Kamala Harris.
WWF went from Kamala The Ugandan Giant to diversity shows of low ratings.
No.
Never thought that was possible.
Uganda went from Idi Amin to fair elections.
USA went from fair elections to Kamala Harris.
WWF went from Kamala The Ugandan Giant to diversity shows of low ratings.
Twitt had the caudacity to say it was a restriction of free speech.
Fuck Twatter
Identity politics is illegal in Uganda, also. Just think about that a moment.
I tried to find source. Their people did suffer from it, that’s clear.
But illegal?
