Ah, so FB and Twitter can ban their competition, but they can never be banned because it “violate(s) basic human rights”.

[SMARTY]

Can’t make that stuff up!!

[pepsionice]

Won’t surprise me Germany shuts down Twitter/Facebook by late-summer ahead of the national election in September.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Sounds as if Uganda is seeing if Mark Zuckerberg can “Squeel like a pig!” “WEE! WEE! WEE!”

As we used to say about this, “He can dish it out, but he can’t take it!”

The left is hypocritical and do not doubt for a moment that they know it themselves. Anything for power is what they do.

So Uganda is less a banana republic then the USSA.

[I want the USA back]

Notice what the filthy hypocrites at twatter said! They condemned this as they shut down free speech in the USA.

[Parmy]

Good for little old Uganda. Thank you, Ugandans.

[Bearshouse]

We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights

Isn't it ironic?

[KC_Lion]

Uganda is a private country, they can do what they like!

If Facebook and Twitter have a problem, they can build their own Uganda!

[Army Air Corps]

Okay, that made me laugh.

[polymuser]

They sure won’t eat what they dish out, will they?

Karma’s gonna leave their butts very sore. And raw.

Perspective: Twitter was mass banning accounts on one SIDE of the election, so the government banned the service entirely in the name of fairness.

They'll probably have a more legitimate election than we had. I bet they use paper ballots and purple dye, and the dead don't vote.

sparking outrage

yes that Uganda is acting like an independent country trying to preserve its democracy while the US slips into 3rd worlds shithiledom

[TonyM]

I just sent him this to him:

“As a citizen of the USA, a once free country, I want to tell you how much I wish we had a leader like you. Our feckless leadership representing conservative Christians have done nothing to stop increasing persecution of Christians. Your decision to put an end to communist led social media has saved your country. Its probably too late for us but I am happy that its not for you. God will judge counties and I am sure will find favor in Uganda. God bless you.”

[Salman]

Uganda is now more of a free country than the USA.

Who would have expected it, even six months ago?

[Rainwave]

The USA has given the green !ight to the dictators and military states everywhere that it is open season on corruption and power grabbing of it’s citizenry. The cat is out of the bag. Even if we somehow resume our own Integrity, the damage to the world caused by the paranoid witch burning coming from the Left is now running hot. Though it may seem we are fast approaching oblivion, God is still and always will be in control of human events.

Look - the idiots at Twatter are condemning themselves.
