The Internet fosters freedom of expression, as each user can potentially reach a wide audience.
Unfortunately, in some cases, technological and legislative measures are imposed to silence dissenting discourse

Internet freedom shouldn't just be connectivity, accessibility and penetration. There should be freedom for people to fully express themselves without fear that next day they'll be kidnapped and molested by people in power. #InternetFreedomUG
As a journalist, how were you able to report and deliver news to your audiences? What lessons did you pick from that experience? We would love to read your story #InternetFreedomUg
@ACME_Uganda @freedomhouse 2021 internet shutdown last year made me to realize that there is no freedom of expressions and speech.
Personally, I loaded mobile data for a week but the shutdown made me to make some losses, and I had to resort to direct phone calls to share field activities with the editor.
Such restrictions are particularly detrimental to information access, daily livelihoods in addition to social, economic, political and educational engagement. #InternetFreedomUG
The week-long internet shutdown in Uganda ahead of the January 2021 elections was not the first and is certainly not the last. What is your take on internet shutdowns?
#InternetFreedomUG
Also worth noting is you could publish this at the time and get away with it. Today it will be blocked by project journalists/editors or you maybe a guest in their dungeons. Times!
I want to give my opinion on this in its entirety, naye my safety matters.
But I think, the legal framework has been used to stifle internet freedom. It should be revised, and amended, including the wide opinion of all citizens; we are also key stakeholders.

Internet shutdowns have detrimental effects to Ugandaโs economy and livelihoods at large. They shouldnโt be an option.

How many remember that @DailyMonitor was threatened with closure over its Nov. 2005 story that the President's brother, Gen. Salim Saleh, was his 1st choice for Chief of Defence Forces? 15+ years later the Big Man appointed his son Commander of the Land Forces. #InternetfreedomUG
The internet is a safe space to express my opinions
#InternetFreedomUg
In March 2021, four Bizonto Comedy Group members were arrested for a YouTube video satirizing government appointments.
In May 2021, law student Michael Muhima was arrested for a tweet parodying a police spokesman in November 2020.
The fear is not unfounded.

Not to forget the official Secrets Act 1964 and the Computer Misuse Act 2011 #InternetFreedomUg
Thatโs right
#InternetFreedomUG
@MissMuhindo The censorship should not be beyond the bounds of the law. Censorship shouldnโt be through vague laws that have a chilling effect on free online speech.
#InternetFreedomUg
That I have the right to hold my own opinions, and to express them freely without any interference, but with a duty at the back of my mind, to behave responsibly and to respect the rights, opinions, and reputation of other people.
#InternetFreedomUG
Before we go deeper into this conversation, what does freedom of expression online mean to you?
#InternetFreedomUG
โNo country that considers itself a free and democratic society should ever have to shutdown the internet for anythingโโ @qataharraymond shares his thoughts on internet shutdowns and other internet restrictions in Uganda #InternetFreedomUG
