Facebook suspends accounts ahead of Uganda elections

A popular social media platform Facebook has banned hundreds of accounts in Uganda ahead of 2021 polls.

The affected accounts associated with president Yoweri Museveni supporters in Uganda. Some of the accounts belong to pro-government online publications while others belong to civil servants and socialites turned Museveni advisers.

Just some few days ago Twitter banned USA ex- president Donald Trump in the last few days of his presidency to prevent him potentially using their digital reach to further incite his supporters. Twitter’s ban was upgraded to a permanent ban.
