Not The Onion. Twitter: "Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media"

[shockedcanadian]

This isn't the Twilight Zone, this is the constant gas lighting and rattling the cage of everyone while being the greatest hypocrites. We've been seeing it for years in the West, our enemies know how much they've converted our defenders.

Worse, for them, as I said was going to happen in Europe. They have opened the door for foreign government to regulate, silence them and ultimately control them. Just as they have to so many of us. They will receive no sympathy, no public support, and an inability for government to help them (unless that which Trump did to protect Big Tech in Europe for years).

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.

We should all care, since they sabotaged principles that the U.S have fought a century for to promote to the world. In one fell swoop. American interests are hurt when global nations can point to any hypocrisy within their own borders. Canadas abuses locally have certainly hurt our standing in the world.

Doesn't it give you tingles up your leg that the Oligarchs are upset that Uganda would block them?

I mean, blocking social media is just the worst...

Doesn't France do this already 24hours prior to their elections to stop last minute foreign interference?

I read Uganda shut down all social media sites. Good for them.
