It is mildly interesting to see what Twitter itself has to say about it: https://twitter.com/Policy/status/1349059275461685250 "Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps. We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.” Oh, the jokes just write themselves… -Andy
