TECHBASED: Government of Uganda Bans Twitter From Country After Censorship, Election Interference

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.

Poland should ban Facebook and Twitter. They can use VK instead.

Even Uganda has to hold it’s nose over the rising censorship.

I like when he said “nobody is going to decide for us what’s good and what’s bad.”

He was referring to Dorsey.

I watched the video and he presents himself as a moral and clear thinking individual.

Jack Dorsey appears to be Mark Zuckerberg with a really bad beard.

If it weren't for the Natural Born Citizen requirement in our Constitution

Anchor baby Kamala Harris is not an NBC.

Biden gets removed on 25th Amendment grounds.

The same day Kamala gets booted because she's not constitutionally qualified.

Who is next in the line of succession?

Why, funny you should ask! It's none other than the Speaker of the House, Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi!

Twitter put out a statement strongly opposing bans as a violation of free speech.
