President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda president has blocked Facebook from operating in his country, just days after the social media company removed “fake accounts” linked to his government ahead of a hotly contested general election set to take place on Thursday.
Note that we have no idea or evidence that these were “fake accounts.” The government and people of Uganda have no evidence of that. Facebook just says it, and the Times prints it as though it is fact. It’s the same thing that happened during US elections.
Even if they are “fake accounts” – who is Facebook to decide that?
In a televised address late on Tuesday night, Mr. Museveni accused Facebook of “arrogance” and said he had instructed his government to close the platform, along with other social media outlets, although Facebook was the only one he named.
“That social channel you are talking about, if it is going to operate in Uganda, it should be used equitably by everybody who has to use it,” Mr. Museveni said. “We cannot tolerate this arrogance of anybody coming to decide for us who is good and who is bad,” he added.
The American media of course goes on to talk about how this is bad, because of muh democracy, human rights an the usual non-sense nobody cases about anymore, its 2020, democracy is dead, democracy led to you being locked in your home.
