    Twit blocked accounts of those supportive of the Uganda president during their election cycle (hey, that sounds familiar). Uganda bans Twit from the country. FB too.

    And we care because?

    2 days ago · Due to admissions from Twitter and Facebook that the platforms have been meddling in the country’s internal elections by banning leaders of the government and pro-government voices, President Museveni took the unprecedented step of banning Facebook and Twitter from the country.


    China and Iran banned Facebook. Ouch that will hurt with Chi-na, huh?

    It's beyond obvious that twitter and facebook are run by DeepState and interfere in politics.....and it's beyond obvious that using twitter to run an election campaign , and then 4 yrs as president , using twitter as your main public voice is a dumb move. Live by the sword , die by the sword.

    There is alternatives to Twitter and facebook that are not part of the MSM or owned by DeepState....I would expect them to start surging in popularity , as twitter and facebook slowly sink.

    Nations should care because it seems FB and Twit are going to continue to shape elections according to their agenda. That will likely be crushed in the near term.

    This link actually brings the First Amendment into the issue for US law. If Big Tech is doing the bidding of the Establishment, they are acting as the State, and therefore their silencing of political opponents does violate the First Amendment.
