Uganda regulator orders complete media shutdown 2 days before general election
Local
The Ugandan telecommunications regulator has just ordered a shutdown of social media media applications two days before the general election.
In what have been reported as “nasty and aggressive” calls to telecommunications companies, the move has been described as retaliation for Facebook removing pro-government accounts for manipulation of public debate prior to the election.
Blocked applications include Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and more with some of which already being offline since Tuesday.
