TECHBASED: Government of Uganda Bans Twitter From Country After Censorship, Election Interference
Big League Politics ^ | 1-12-21 | Richard Moorhead

Uganda isn’t playing around.

The government of Uganda has disabled Twitter within its borders for election interference, days after oligarch Jack Dorsey took initiative to suspend accounts supportive of President Yoweri Museveni.

President Museveni is known as a devout Christian, and has been the target of animosity from western governments and global corporations his his staunch opposition to homosexualism. Uganda’s election is scheduled for Thursday, and the state has suspended Facebook and Twitter’s services for systemic bias against his National Resistance Movement.

“That social channel you are talking about, if it is going to operate in Uganda, it should be used equitably by everybody who wants to use it,” Museveni said of Twitter and Facebook. “If you want to take sides against the National Resistance Movement, then that group will not operate in Uganda.”

The Big Tech platform commenced to whine up a storm after facing consequences for censorship, conveniently dismissing the reality that they were engaged in a wide-ranging campaign to censor figures associated with President Museveni, just days before a national election.

You know things are bad when even Uganda can recognize Nazi-style censorship and half of Americans can’t. /Godwin’s Law

Twitter Mercenaries will defeat the Ugandans by blinding them with laser pointers then beating them on their heads with 12 Pros.

I’m glad I’m 75 years old and only have a limited time left in this insane asylum.

Most amazing man.

Pity the world only needed one new star, really.

Idi Amin - friend to terrorist hijackers. 44 years later, Uganda has more common sense than 1/2 of America. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

A few of Idi Amin’s air force planes got blowed up real good at Entebbe. Yes, where Yonatan Netanyahu was killed.

If it weren't for the Natural Born Citizen requirement in our Constitution, I would support a Museveni USA 2024 campaign. He doesn't dick around!

PING!
