Students don’t pause learning when the internet is shut down. They fall behind. That’s the reality we must acknowledge. #DigitalRights

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

Uganda’s digital future depends on three things:

1. Access
2. Trust
3. Preparedness

We need all three. #DigitalRights

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

Preparedness matters.

Organizations, schools, and businesses should not wait for Internet disruption to plan for it. #DigitalRights #KeepItOn

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

Internet access is becoming an essential infrastructure—just like electricity and roads.
Policy decisions today shape tomorrow’s opportunities. #DigitalRights #KeepItOn

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

At Encrypt Uganda, we believe digital resilience is no longer optional. Communities must be prepared for disruptions—not surprised by them. #DigitalRights

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

Digital rights are not abstract ideas.
They affect how people learn, work, communicate, and live every day. #DigitalRights

Zambia has cancelled the RightsCon 2026 summit, the world’s largest global conference on human rights and technology, just days before it was set to begin in Lusaka.

The event was scheduled to take place from May 5 to 8.

Authorities stated that the summit did not align with the country’s national values and policy priorities.

In response, the organisers expressed disappointment over the cancellation, warning of what they described as possible transnational repression affecting civil society.

Access to information builds trust.
Restrictions without clear communication create uncertainty. Uganda deserves both security and clarity. #DigitalRights

When the internet goes off, small businesses feel it first.
No customers. No payments. No communication.
Digital access = economic survival. #DigitalRights

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

Internet shutdowns don’t just affect “the internet.”
They affect families, businesses, students, and access to information.
Connectivity today is part of daily life in Uganda. #DigitalRights
